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.
