Microsoft Surface users has been facing a problem of Wi-Fi connectivity since the very first day of tablets launch. Most of the users had this problem and after some time, the tablet started showing ‘Limited Connectivity’ error in Wi-Fi status and users couldn’t use the internet on Surface until a new restart or reconnection was made. Some users couldn’t even get the error fixed after reconnection to Wi-Fi network or after restaring.
Microsoft few days ago released an update for all Surface tablets to get the error fixed but, the update didn’t seem to have fixed the problem. Many people including me are still getting the Limited Connectivity error on Wi-Fi network.
