Surface Pro 3 Slow WiFi - 72Mbps Max (driver)

Anonymous

I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router at home and am only connecting at a max of speed of 72Mbps (usually closer to 11Mbps if I'm more than 20 feet away from the WAP). I have two other 802.11ac laptops at home (Samsung AB9+ and rMBP) and my two other computers are connecting up at 800Mbps+ and pulling down the same on Internet speed tests; yes, I have real GigE connectivity. Is anyone else having these problems?

    You do need a DOCSIS 3.0 cable modem. What brand/model modem do you have and

    what exact router and firmware version-  (I forget, I know you posted it at some

    point).

    In general, and you might not have all of these settings:

    Native with DHCP-PD (or it might be listed as v6 DHCP)

    Connect to DNS Server automatically = Enable

    Enable Router Advertisement = Enable

    Never mind, restarting the modem fixed.
