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?

HI Frank

From my understanding is yes you need an AC router to achieve faster connection. Someone with more knowledge on this matter will chime in.

So, the only way to fix the slow WiFi issue is to get an AC router?

I'm getting 866mbps on my AC router. I get 166mbps on my N router. So yes, I'm happy!
