@dmhacker not sure what's the fix is. Currently my SB2 still suffer this wifi issue, same as that described at jakeday/linux-surface#249 and not have a clue what to do... |
I played around with some of the alternative firmwares floating around on my Surface Go. Here's a brief info dump in case it's useful for someone. SymptomsWith the default firmware provided by
