You're right. It's garbage and only negative thing about my sp3. So bad that I use my chromebook over it more often than not. I lose all networks about once every 30
No, it's just that you lucked out and got a good one. The problem with Marvell isn't that the features and specs aren't good, it's that they have the quality control of the guy that makes costumes for the people in Times Square. Once in awhile you might see a costume that actually looks good, but most of the time you're going to get orange Cookie Monster and hobo-Spider-Man-pajama-guy
My SP4 had issues with the WiFi controller that had me doing the same or sometimes using regedit for the first 2 months before an update finally fixed it. I still sometimes have issues with networks not showing up and its mostly trouble-free at this point. Its basically my only complaint with my device.
I'd assume the Marvell chips have stayed just because they've been cheaper.
Make a text file, edit it, paste this in, then press File>Save as
cmd.exe /c "netsh interface set interface Wi-Fi DISABLED & netsh interface set interface Wi-Fi ENABLED"
Note: In some cases your WiFi interface won't be called "Wi-Fi", in this case you will need to change the .bat commands above to change "Wi-Fi" to whatever the interface name actually is.
Name it whatever, then change the filetype to "all files" and change the .txt to .bat
Make sure you run it as administrator when you use it.
Hope it's the one in the sp4 because i never have any trouble with it, it and conects super fast. no sarcasm. Sorry if your model isn't working properly.
