    Revised: Wi-Fi problem not a Surface problem.
    5 Stars
    Revised: Wi-Fi problem not a Surface problem.
    EDIT: I'm raising this to five stars. Long story short, the WiFi problems were not the fault of the tablet. It is a fantastic piece, and I recommend it highly. There are a couple of things you should know: DO buy the keyboard; you'll need it if you ever need to do a USB/CD rescue disk bootup. DO upgrade your router (if you haven't already) to a dual-band 11AC router. The Surface doesn't work as well with 11N single-band (2.4) routers. So you will have a few extra costs, but they are worth it.Original review:I wanted to give this 5 stars, but am tempted to give it one star. I'm giving it 3, because so much of it is good, but the bad part is so bad as to make this piece almost useless. If I weren't buying it for my wife, who is just learning on it as her first computer, I would return it. Fortunately, I have better real PCs.Main problem: the WiFi. Much noted on many forums and on the reviews here on Amazon. I mean, really bad WiFi. I don't have a/c, I'm still on n, but just the same -- our Windows phones register 24 Mpbs on the upload meter. My Y500 laptop, on a hard-wired connection, registers 52 Mbps. Router is a Netgear WNR2000v4. (It just had a firmware upgrade, but that did not help.) With the SP3, WiFi speed varies depending on whether the unit is on battery or plugged in, which by itself creates a problem. How many people are always going to have the unit plugged in? The download speed varies between 0.19 Mbps (yes, that's a number zero before the decimal point), to 5.49 Mbps. On battery, the speed is always below 1 . Mbps. This is really unacceptable. I would send it back if I hadn't bought it for my wife, who is not going to be streaming video and is unlikely to be a power user. We can do that on the Gaming PC if we need to. But come on! $1500 for a portable machine that depends on WiFi, and has the worst WiFi performance of anything on the market? I tried installing my Netgear WiFi dongle, but it won't work on Windows 8. There is also a converter available, so you can hook an ethernet cable to the USB port, but then the rig is no longer portable. This really stinks. I'm only giving it 3 stars because it is the only true Windows hybrid out there, and the only one I can use in Desktop mode for maintenance, and my wife can use like her phone, in swipe-screen mode.The forums are replete with posts about the WiFi problem. Microsoft has issued multiple hardware and firmware updates (most recently today), but still to no effect. They should recall the machines and replace the lousy Marvell chips that they are using for WiFi.I'm attaching a photo of the string of speed tests I've done over the last couple of days. Higher speeds are on AC power. Lower speeds are on battery.
