Weird Internet Connection Setup Issues

Hi All,

 

I'm experiencing something quite weird in Windows 11 on a Surface Pro 7. I have created 2 videos with viewing link below. 

 

Video 1

Shows me connecting to my router, but what's actually going on here is quite odd.

Video 2

Then, after some time of successful connectivity, it drops out, and then more weirdness. Eventually I am forced to restart. I'm stumped. I even tried a repair install, but no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • Hi, on a Surface Pro 7 I’d start with the Surface firmware and Wi-Fi driver stack before going deeper. Forget the Wi-Fi profile, run Network Reset, update Surface drivers/firmware, and test against another SSID or a USB-C Ethernet adapter. If the issue continues after a repair install, Event Viewer WLAN AutoConfig logs and router DHCP logs may show whether the disconnect starts on Windows or the network side.
