Surface 2 RT WiFi Driver Issues

Hello, all. I come here as a non-owner of Surface, but more on the behalf of a family member who the Surface belongs to that I'm trying to help out. Anyway, the issue at hand is that for whatever reason, there isn’t a network driver by default available, or something along these lines. When accessing the network settings, followed by troubleshooting the fact that there are no connections available (despite that multiple other devices in the house are able to connect just fine, and the device is in good range), the message given is:

Marvell Avastar Wireless-n Network Controller Driver Update

Network Controller Driver Sony

“Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver.”

Alrighty, so I head into the device manager, and look for a network adapter, “wifi”, etc. section, but none seem to exist. There seems to be what Windows is telling me, obviously. My first thought was, “maybe it got accidentally deleted somehow.” I went ahead and looked around the device a bit more for some solutions before proceeding to do a refresh, thinking that any deleted files would be restored…or not. Ended up trying this twice just in case there was some issue the first time, but alas, still no network drivers popped up. Snooped around the system a bit more and found the “legacy drivers” option, which in turn did have some network adapter options. Under Marvell, there was a driver for “Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-N Network Controller” to which I thought “oh, finally, why couldn’t that have been easier!” Went ahead and added it in, but then it gave error code 31, saying that Windows cannot load the drivers required for the device, which would cause the device to not work properly.

At this point, I started to explore the reset/reinstall options a bit more that I had noticed when I originally tried to “refresh” the system. I ended up doing the “just files” remove/reinstall option once, and the “fully clean the drive” option twice, again for good measure. Surely, this should’ve solved the issue, seeing as it would ideally just put back the network drivers that were in use for however long the family member has had the device. Somehow, this didn’t end up proving true. I went ahead and tried putting the legacy Marvell driver back in place to see if it would work now that the system was ‘fresh’, but no difference from before.

I finally turned to Google which found some others faced with what I identified as a similar issue, though unfortunately the solutions did not bear positive results for my situation. I tried many things, such as:

Uninstalling the driver, then scanning for new hardware Uninstalling the driver (but not remove entirely), then rebooting the device, which should’ve seen the adapter reappear working as it should be Downloading the latest recovery image from Microsoft’s site, and reinstalling that, just in case

No luck.

Additional info:

Using “netsh alan show drivers” reports “There is no wireless interface on the system.” Using “nets alan report issues” reports that “There is no smart trace log file to report at C:/Windows/tracing/wireless”.

There may be some other things that I’ve tried that I may be forgetting, but in general, have been trying a number of things with no solution. So…um….anything else that I could potentially do to finally get it working again?

Thanks,

I know software updates are important to improve your computer experience and patch security holes, but in the last Patch Tuesday, which Microsoft released on Aug. 12th, that also included the August update (Update 2), its hurting Surface Pro 3 more than it’s helping. Since I updated Surface Pro 3 to the latest August firmware update, I have been having a bunch of Wi-Fi issues.

For example, almost every time I wake the tablet, I see that it’s not connected to my wireless network; upon login, I am sometimes lucky enough to see that it reconnects automatically. Other times I have to restart Windows in order to reconnect.

But today I am seeing something totally new, after waking my Surface, I am noticing that the wireless adapter got disabled on its own. Going to Control Panel and navigating to Network Connections, I tried to re-enable the adapter, but it didn’t work.

So if you’re experiencing the same issue, there is an easy workaround to this problem, just follow the steps below:

Fixing Surface Pro 3 wireless network adapter

  1. Tap and hold the Start button and select Devices Manger

  2. Find Network adapters, expand and tap and hold “Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller”

  3. Choose Uninstall and select “Delete the driver software for this device.” And press OK.

  4. You just erased the driver for the wireless adapter on your Surface Pro 3. Now you just need to re-install the driver, to do this just follow these steps:

    While in Device Manager, tap the Scan icon from the toolbar (the little PC with a magnifier on top). This action will scan your Surface Pro 3 for changes, at this point Windows 8.1 should detect and reinstall the corresponding driver automatically.

Now go back to Network Connections and hopefully, you’ll see that the wireless adapter is enabled once again. Go right ahead and connect to your local network as it should be working normally. Though, you might have to re-enter the wireless passphrase.

The reason to why the Surface Pro 3’s Marvell AVASTAR adapter got disabled on its own still unknown to me, but I’ll keep digging and I will update this article accordingly.
