New Firmware - July 8, 2014

The last SP2 Firmware from June, mine and my wife's received it on Patch Tuesday, my son didn't get it until that Saturday...

There is a new firmware just released just now.

I just installed it. What I noticed is the on battery the WIFI connection will not throttle down to 6mbps. It now stays at 300mbps which I believe is the max connection for my router (EA4500).

I would not say it solved the WIFI limited issue as I have just installed it but I sincerely hope so.


ADDENDUM: NOPE WIFI LIMITED STILL THERE and STILL THROTTLING DOWN TO 6mbps.

If you haven't already, I would suggest that you roll back the drivers in device manager to the ones the unit shipped. The WiFi works much better with that version.

Did you do a check for updates? A manual check? I did and it found the updates, I installed them and the connectivity seems better as I mentioned in a few posts up.

I have checked manually several times since noon on both units I have. Neither have made the cut, yet. I received all the security and reliability updates pushed out today, just not the new firmware.

Should we still hide the June firmware if it shows back up again? Referring to the suggestions in your other thread regarding the manual driver uninstall/re-install.

Sometimes the firmware updates take a while before everyone receives them. Eventually it will show up.

I left it hidden as it was just the WiFi Driver, no issues installing the new stuff....

Just installed the new update and my wifi problems seemed to have been solved for now.

Confirmed on my SP3 the WiFi speed on battery power is back to normal. While I can't touch Jeff's hyper sonic router speeds I'm showing 65Mbps at idle.

Same here. I've manually checked a bunch throughout the day. Hopefully we'll qualify for the incremental rollout by morning.
