Network controller drops internet connection often

Success! I hope this works

Part two of my journey!

When I access properties I don't see Power Management

@Dom Valenzano
Great! thanks for the update! I found some helpful threads from other Surface users having the same issue with the Marvell AVASTAR network controller. A few of them had success with this workaround, might be worth trying on your Surface Laptop 2:

Kindly check this for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Surface/comments/pq284z/psa_if_youre_unable_to_connect_to_some_wifi/

Try this driver update:

Download this driver:

Marvell Net Driver 15.68.17015.112

(It’s a .cab file — allow pop-ups if needed.)

Open the .cab file and extract the contents to a folder (you’ll need the .inf and .sys files).

Right-click the .inf file and choose Install. Accept any warnings.

Go to Device Manager > Network adapters >

Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller

Right-click > Update driver

Choose Browse my computer > Let me pick from a list

Select the one labeled Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. (not Microsoft).

Reboot your device.

Let me know how it goes.

Downloaded the driver and my screen froze - working thru that now

my screen froze yet again - guess I'm stuck with hard restarts for the near future

thanks for your help
