I'm hoping for an LTE version of the Surface Pro in the next iteration. Save me to need to tether to my Mi-Fi router. Hate to carry too many hardware around.

I'm now looking for a mifi. Lol. What is good and small.

No problem connecting to 5Ghz bandwidth AFTER the firmware update. I think you may wish to go to the Router's settings to change the channels of your 5Ghz band. This will usually work.

Try it.

Thanks for advice .

Using Asus ac1900 , you mean the channel bandwidth, control channel or extension channel ?

Current setting :
Channel bandwidth : 20/40/80Mhz
Control channel : auto
Extension channel : auto

If you do a Google search, apparently this means you have a hardware failure. Time to use your warranty..

For those who want to request a return and rebuy. Please note they will charge you shipping costs.

I wrongly ordered. Surface to VGA adapter and the CS went to initiate a return. The fine prints states the above. Zzz adapter cost below 60. If the courier services for the tiny adapter eats away 10+ I might as well sell at hwz garage to benefit others.

Oh you didn't update the firmware? I think should be ok now that you updated.

So anybody else started the return process for their surface yet? I called the hotline and they said I must wait for their back end to call me within 48hrs to tell me what to do next.

Edit: I got the email from their back end. They are going to send me a prepaid shipping label for me to send back my unit.
