I'm talking about the Surface 3 I have. Not the Surface Pro 3.
You can get a Surface 3 with Windows 8.1 Pro already installed if you want.

I dont care about the OS that it comes with as we have open license. thx _____ From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Wifi on surface 3 NON PRO Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 11:26:43 -0700 According to my Surface 3, that's correct. WPA2 Enterprise with AES only. Which if I remember correctly is because there was a serious flaw in the TKIP implementation. At the time the fix/work around was to use AES as it didn't have that flaw. I would question why they are still using TKIP. So far my Surface 3 has performed flawlessly. I have the business model that comes with Windows Pro 8.1, 4 GB RAM and the 128 GB SSD. I also have the type keyboard and pen. It's been great for taking notes. I only have two complaints so far. This is a personal preference. One, the screen size. I like screen real estate. At home and work I can plug it into a larger monitor. Two, sometimes I have to try touching a few times before it works. Must be my large fingers. I recommend the device for those that do not need the Surface Pro 3.

The replacement unit usually worked, but every few days the touch would stop working or the unit would lock up all together. The wifi driver does not support WPA2 Enterprise with TKIP, so I simply cannot connect to my work or school wifi. I returned the unit after the detachable keyboard started freezing intermittently.
