Honestly, if you're at home and you can possibly work it out, go wired--it's immune to interference, much faster, more secure than wireless all around. I converted our home to 100% wired years ago and have never had occasion to look back with any regrets at all... These days, I only go wireless when the job requires me to. It's definitely second-rate, imo.

- I tend to agree. Wherever it's possible, a wired connection seems to be less problematic..
- same applies to the Xbox One internet connection, as well..

No way to go wired in this house, Walt. We're completely wireless and here I sit with one router and a cable modem/router combo that I cannot use.

I'm rolled back to 16199, so I'll just have to wait until the issue gets fixed.

I wish I could use my ethernet cable, Roy, but no such luck. This house is completely wireless.

Possibly because of this known issue? See post #1.

Wi-Fi will get turned off on certain devices like the Surface Pro 1 and Surface Pro 2 and some USB devices and won’t work due to a driver issue. To get Wi-Fi working again, you will have to roll-back to the previous build.

I'm now rolled back to Build 16199, TC. It works.

I would if I could, Bug, but I can't.

Yes you can. Use powerline adapter. That's what I do.
I am working from home right now and I have my office laptop connected wired to the internet from one of my wall outlets.
