Windows 10 laptop causes WNDR4500v3 to crash/restart every couple of minutes
I've been using a WNDR4500v3 (current firmware is 1.0.0.32) for over a year with no issues. Our cellphones, Ipads, apple TV, a 2007 iMac, and two laptops running Windows 8.1 all work fine. I just bou...

Let us know any update once you have the Surface Pro 4.

After having the Surface Pro 4 connected and running for a few days with no internet issues, I am convinced that it was the network adapter on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro S (Gold edition) that was causing the issue. I looked up the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4A Wireless Network Adapter (Driver version 12.0.0.297) and found plenty of issues with this card not getting along with the specific router that I have. My husband borrowed my first SP4 and never gave it back :). I was trying to find a device that was on par with the SP4 on specs, but not price, but I guess that didn't work out.

Thanks for the update!
You may have to probably borrow your SP4 once again. :)
