Hmm. Just tried rolling back the driver. Will let you know how it goes. Re connecting and disconnecting the network. Didn't do anything.
Will be hard to say if the old driver works right away. Just did it. Will give it a day or two (or until the first disconnection) and get back.

Rolled back drivers. Tried forgetting network. Nothing works. This router does NOT work on a surfacebook 2 laptop and by the looks of other people posting on the internet, does not work with most microsoft surface products.
I am going to have to buy a usb wifi card to get this to work since I do not have money to buy a mesh network as I spent it all on modem + router already.
Would be nice if netgear would comp all surface owners a usb wifi card. Or at least warn on the box that the devices are not compatible with surface products.

I have the exact same issue with my Surface Pro 6.
Is there a way to resolve this??
