    Does anyone from Microsoft monitor this site? There are a number of people having this issue. 

    Nobody seems to be taking responsibility from Microsoft. A search for 'wi-fi issues Surface' throws up thread after thread after thread not just here but on other sites going back years, and there's not a single solution or bug fix or anything. 

    Either they don't monitor, or can't figure it out, or more likely - they know the issue is down to a crap component that doesn't work as it should.

    Hopefully they'll want to prove us wrong and actually fix a common issue on a 'premium' laptop RANGE - not just a single type, but a full range of laptops under the Surface banner.

    I don't think anyone from Microsoft cares. 

    I have just given up on it and using my Surface Laptop as a desktop with a physical cable plugged in. Kinda sad...
