Anyone else have this issue? It is so frustrating and I know the wifi is fine because my phone and my old macbook have never had issues with the Wifi but this happens to my Surface almost everyday. Thanks in advance.

    Marrion,

    Just to let you know, I am on my third Surface Laptop 3, Intel i7, and the issue still exists.  It is not severe, but it is not resolved to be clear.  All three of the machines that I have had, the original purchase plus two replacement efforts, have not solved this issue. 

    The latest iteration is that when the Laptop is put to sleep, upon waking up, it has 1/10th the WiFi speed and, in some cases, doesn't respond at all over WiFi.  It requires a reboot.  I have tried disconnecting and connecting to various routers, and I have tried turning off, and on the WiFi, none of those steps work.  Maybe this will help the Surface team further investigate this to get a full resolution vs. the partial resolution we currently have.  It's a costly laptop and should work as advertised. 

    Ron

    After seven months of solid wifi from Surface Laptop 3 the networking is gone without warning.  I reset Windows 10 first and Cortana could not detect wifi during set up.  The laptop never leaves my desk.  From the posts above this is a known problem.  What next?  Do i make a claim under manufacturers warranty?

    December updated fixed a hellish day for me - seems fixed and stable on a laptop that kept falling off having only purchased a month ago. Its Intel 64 bit driver update:
