#Surface book marvell avastar problems update

Anyone have suggestions? I may try buying another router just to rule that out. A recent firmware update released on July 31/August 1 for Marvell AVASTAR Wireless-AC Network Controller has resulted in some users having a problem connecting to 5Ghz WiFi networks. I've looked around the web and there are some old suggestions about registry hacks (that don't work) and plenty of Surface owners complaining about Marvell and Skylake. I hoped the recent Marvell Avastar update would help but if anything, it's gotten worse. Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager. The Surface Book and several other Surface devices use the Marvell Technology Group Ltd. I think it cropped up at some point after an update. If you are facing problems connecting to the Internet on your Surface tablet, it is more likely there are some problems with the Marvell Avastar Wireless-AC Network Controller driver. When I first got the SurfaceBook in November, I didn't have this problem. Sometimes my connection speeds with that are ~350KB/s or less (again, around 6MB/s on other devices). The worst thing is that I use a NAS (network attached storage) to access files. So I don't think it's the router or channel. Sometimes if I disconnect or turn off Wifi and reconnect, things are better for a while. My internet speed will often be ~3 or 4 Mbps while all my other devices are 20+ Mbps. Does anyone experience extremely slow Wifi connections? For months my Surface Book's connection has been EXTREMELY slow (although somewhat intermittently).
