I just got a Surface 3 with Windows 10 and I'm having some Wifi issues with it. When I do a Speedtest it finds the server almost instantly, gets the ping value, then when it starts to get the download speed it spikes to 4 mbps and then start declining and then at the end of the test the download speed is 1.50 mbps. It's like the device is detecting the test and throttles the speed.
Meanwhile on my desktop, on wifi, same network, I'm getting the speeds I should. Has anyone else run into this? It pretty much makes the surface unusable and I'd like to get this worked out ASAP. Thanks!
EDIT: I changed the network encryption type on my router to TKIP and it fixed the problem for about five minutes. After letting the Surface sit idle for a while, the problem has returned.
