Surface Pro won’t connect to Wifi

With the release of the new Microsoft Surface Pro it seems we have entered a new age of computing. There are some slight differences and improvements. I have found there isn’t anything I cannot do on a Surface Pro that I could do on my Windows 8 Desktop.

Out of the box it is very slick. Setup is easy, it’s very intuitive, and FAST!

The one single problem that held me up for a day was trying to get it connected to our business class wireless.

Symptoms:

When trying to connect to a hidden network using either WEP or WPA2 Personal security the wireless will continuously change from disabled to enabled and never connect with credentials.

SPCTech Con 2012

As the third day of Sharepoint Tech Con 2012 comes to a close, it’s raining and cold in downtown San Francisco.

The 3 full days of sessions are enough information to put just about anyone on overload. I can honestly say I will be taking a great deal of tools back to work with me to help combat the SharePoint road ahead.

Some great speakers and sessions. Now to just decipher my 18 pages of notes and put them to good use. I will post tidbits I found useful along the way.

So far it’s been a great year kicking off with CES 2012 in Las Vegas, now SPTechCon 2012 in San Francisco, and a Farm Credit IS Symposium in vegas at the end of March. You never stop learning in order to keep growing.
