Good afternoon all.
So I just picked up a Surface 3 and was all giddy while getting it set up. Well, that giddyness quickly went away.
From the moment I started setting it up, I realized that while I was connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, I did not actually have an internet connection.
I've spent the past 5 hours looking up different fixes on this site and others, and none of them seem to work. I did realize that when I turn the Surface on from sleep mode, I have active internet for all of maybe 5 seconds.
Some of the common basic questions I've seen and I'll answer.
Yes, other devices work fine on my home Wi-Fi
No, my Surface does not work on other Wi-Fi connections
Yes, I've turned off Internet Protocol Version 6
Yes, I've disabled and reenabled the adapter.
