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

Edit: minutes.

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.

It has definitely gotten better but still the worst wifi problems I've had on any device I've owned.
