I've tried to update the driver but it says the driver is already up to date. Every once in a while, the driver gets disabled and hidden from the device manager tab. Over the past few weeks, i've been having issues with my Surface Pro 3 and the network driver called Marvell AVASTAR wireless AC controller. But given the lack of engagement from Microsoft on this issue, it’s probably the only reliable option.Help me out here, i'm at a complete loss on what to do. Should you need to spend money to fix something Microsoft broke? Absolutely not. I currently carry around one from Edimax which is less than $17 on Amazon. If you are severely impacted by slow/bad connectivity, you can throw a small amount of money at the problem and buy an external USB Wi-Fi adapter should improve performance on at least the 5GHz band. Given that it took Microsoft 9+ months to fix Wi-Fi driver problems on Windows 8.1, I’m not very optimistic. And it seems to be a marketing mantra to not acknowledge problems until a fix is available. Most likely reason is that posting an older driver is admitting the existence of a problem. Quite frankly don’t understand why Microsoft won’t post a driver that is known to help some customers with these issues. I’ve personally asked that the old driver be posted on the official drivers page at and have had only silence as a reply. (They need to force install the old driver from device manager using the browse, have disk, let me pick option, and also disable driver updates.). Some (but not all) customers are reporting relief using the. The driver is available elsewhere on the web, and although it is not legal to redistribute Microsoft software, it’s out there on the web. 151 which some folks report resolves the issue. For some reason, Microsoft will not post the older Marvell wireless driver Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller. So far, there’s been no real comment from Microsoft on whether or not they understand the issues or any information on timing of a fix. These issues are being widely reported on Microsoft’s Community forums, Reddit, and on third party sites. There are a large number of Surface Pro 3 and Surface 3 owners reporting severely slow wireless speeds, limited connectivity and other problems with the new Windows 10 Operating System.
