reported by early adopters of the new tablet, and it took Redmond a while to determine the cause of this limited connectivity problem. Similar issues were also reported on previous generation Surface models, and it took the technology titan a few months to nail them. Users complained that the Surface Pro 3 lost WiFi connectivity all of a sudden. Sometimes it happened when waking the tablet up from sleep mode. A few workarounds were offered, but none of them took care of the problem completely, leaving owners no choice but to reboot their Surface Pro 3 tablets in order to browse the web again. This is what’s included this latest firmware update, according to the official release notes:
- Surface Pro UEFI update (v3.10.250.0) improves system experience and enhances overall system stability, including Wi-Fi.
- Surface Pro Embedded Controller Firmware update (v38.6.50.0) enhanced support for system performance and user experience, including thermostat icon on boot.
- Surface Pro System Aggregator Firmware update (v3.9.350.0) increases the overall system reliability and compatibility with a Surface cover.
- Surface Integration driver update (v2.0.1102.0) enhances user experience, including Wi-Fi stability.
- Surface Wi-Fi and Bluetooth driver update (v15.68.3055.107) improves Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth reliability and system stability, and significantly enhances the user experience.
Glad they fixed it
Finally! I don’t own one, but for how they’re advertising this tablet, this issue should have been fixed awhile ago. If you’re going to say it’s better than a macbook, then make sure the wifi works!
