Surface Wireless Not Working

I've seen that with my own Surface Book and Surface Pro 1. How do I fix a WiFi connection problem in Windows 7? Whether you're connecting to the internet using a wireless or wired adapter, similar to previous versions, Windows 10.

I have a surface pro 3 that the OS became corrupt and i did a full reimage from the advanced startup options. Now i don't have a wireless driver. The wireless is showing under Other items in the device manager. I've tried downloading the surface pro 3 driver package from Microsoft but i get an error.

So i downloaded the file again, same error. Tried opening the file with my work laptop (also Win10) and got this same error. Looks like the MS driver package is corrupt. I can't find a download for just the wireless.

Realtek Wifi Adapter Not Working

Folks have been reporting some Windows 10 Wi-Fi issues where their device no longer has the ability to connect to a network. It’s almost as if the Wi-Fi card is disabled because you can’t browse or connect to wireless networks. If this has happened to you, it could be because of a bug in a recent Windows 10 update. Fortunately, there is a fix circulating on the internet that may help you fix it. Windows 10 Wi-Fi Issues: The Fix The fix involves deleting a registry key where some bad information about the wireless network is listed. The bad data seems the be the result of a patching process where the registry key is supposed to be deleted after the patch is installed but isn’t.

Speaking of wi-fi, I was traveling last week, booted up my surface and it would not let me connect to the hotel wi-fi without downloading some Microsoft Wi-Fi app which, as I understand it, seems to be an app to allow one to pay through Microsoft to access wi-fi in various locations. My concern is, if the wi-fi is free to me (because in this case I am a frequent traveler who doesn’t get charged for hotel wi-fi), does the app cause me to pay for something when it is isn’t required. Appreciate any insight you might have on this.
