Despite my AP supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, the Surface Pro 3 I&#8217;m testing for work point blank refuses to connect over 5.  Which is a problem seeing as my neighbours wireless security camera pretty much floods 2.4 making it next to useless.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, from what I can gather it looks like there&#8217;s a problem with the Surface&#8217;s Marvell wireless NIC driver that means if your AP is using the same SSID for both networks the driver ignores the 5GHz one.  I&#8217;ve just changed the settings on mine to use a different SSID for each and the Surface connects fine.  It&#8217;s worth a try if you&#8217;re having the same problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft&#8217;s Surface Pro 3 has problems connecting to WiFi networks on 5GHz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,7,6],"tags":[522,521,347,520,13,519,19],"class_list":["post-1116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobile","category-ms","category-tech","tag-2-4ghz","tag-5ghz","tag-driver","tag-marvell","tag-microsoft","tag-surface","tag-wifi","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1116"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1118,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1116\/revisions\/1118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/refraction.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
