Apparently many Surface users are experiencing a “Limited Connectivity error” when using WI-FI on the Microsoft Surface, which can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting or restarting the tablet.
Microsoft has pushed out a fix, but apparently some users are still having issues.
However a solution has popped up on Microsoft Answers which may solve the left-over issues.
The instructions are as follows:
-
First of all, go to Start Screen by pressing the Windows button your Surface tablet. In Start Screen go to Search Charm by swiping from right and selecting ‘Search‘.
-
Type in ‘cmd’ in the ‘Search’ box. ‘Command Prompt‘ would be showed in results.
-
Swipe down on the Command Prompt tile and the app bar will open. Select ‘Run as administrator’ from the app bar.
-
Command Prompt will open on the desktop. Type or copy and paste the following in the command prompt
netsh int tcp set heuristics disabled
-
Press ‘Enter’. You would see ‘Ok’ as answer. Now, type the following:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
-
Press ‘Enter’. You would see ‘Ok’ again. Type the following now:
netsh int tcp set global rss=enabled
-
Press ‘Eneter’ and you would see ‘Ok’. Now, finally type the following:
netsh int tcp show global
-
This time you will see a couple of settings and all should be disabled except one or two. If, all are disabled except one you are good to go.
- Now, your Wi-Fi should be connected to internet again. You won’t face the Wi-Fi limited connectivity problem again.
