The package provides the installation files for Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-N Network Controller (SDIO) Driver version.37. In order to manually update your driver, follow the steps below. Uninstall the driver and make sure to select the box that says, “Delete the driver software for this device.” Restart your Surface; Cross your fingers; The drivers should auto-magically be re-installed again?I know, it sounds impossible and ridiculous, but that is exactly what I did and it worked.

For example, in the above image, you can see two driver files; msi; msi. In the first driver file, the 15063 number is the version number. In the second driver file, the number 16299 is the Windows 10 version number. Uninstall the driver and make sure to select the box that says, “Delete the driver software for this device.” Restart your Surface; Cross your fingers; The drivers should auto-magically be re-installed again?I know, it sounds impossible and ridiculous, but that is exactly what I did and it worked.

The Horrifying Problem

I grabbed my Surface Pro 2, turned it on and noticed that the wireless wasn’t working. At first, I figured I would give it a minute. A minute passed and then I begun to get worried. The WiFi was not turning on and Windows was reporting to me that my system does not have a wireless device – at all. This all started happening after a windows update, this has never happened before prior to the update.

The Stupid Fix to the Stupid Problem

1. Uninstall the driver and make sure to select the box that says, “Delete the driver software for this device.”
2. Restart your Surface
3. Cross your fingers
4. The drivers should auto-magically be re-installed again?I know, it sounds impossible and ridiculous, but that is exactly what I did and it worked.

Bleh…

This was very very frustrating and troubling because who knows when it is going to happen again. It was seriously random. I blame Microsoft for this one, too many people are having this problem for it to be a coincidence. Especially after a windows update. There have been too many windows updates as of late for the Surface, which I think says something. I haven’t even heard of Marvell, why couldn’t they just stick to Realtek like everyone else?

Updates

2015.08.19 – I upgraded my Surface Pro 2 to Windows 10 and unfortunately I have encountered the same problem all over again in a different form. Right after performing the upgrade I lost all of my wireless devices, I simply restarted the surface and that fixed the problem. I put my surface into hibernation (which you have to manually enable) and I lost all of my wireless devices again. I simply restarted my surface and that fixed the problem again. So the good news is, there are less steps this time. The bad news is, the problem still persists.

When the wireless network stops working on your Surface, it’s very likely due to your Marvell Avastar Wireless-AC Network Controller driver. No worries! The good news is you can fix it easily by yourself.

Here’re 2 options you can try to fix this problem. Choose the one you prefer.

Option 1 – Manually – Some computer skills and patience are required to play around with your drivers this way, because you have to find the exactly correct driver online, download it and install it step by step.

OR

Option 2 – Automatically (Recommended)– This is the quickest and easiest option. It’s all done with just a few mouse clicks – super easy even if you’re a computer newbie.

IMPORTANT: Both these two options should be performed with network connection on your Surface. If you cannot access the wireless network, try to connect to network through a wired cable.

1) Head to Microsoft Install Wireless Drivers on Surface website.
2) Choose your operating system. Then click Download the driver package.

3) Click the download link of your Surface version.

Option 2. Download & Install the latest Avastar Wireless-AC Network Controller driver via Driver Easy AUTOMATICALLY (Recommended)
