It doesn't even seem to see the 2.4 band despite the fact my cell phone which is right beside the surface, which is connected to the 2.4 band shows full signal as do all the other mobile devices in my house.

I've tried re-setting the adapter but doesn't seem to have helped out the issue.

What's also odd, I can see all the other wireless routers my neigbours have and they show a much stronger signal despite being a house or two over from me.
Man did this thing get squirrley. The wifi icon even changed to a wired connection icon (Surface does not have an ethernet port). Restarting did nothing so on a whim, tried just powering off. Powered it back up and it works fine now. Odd. Wifi icon is back and show full signal to 2.4 band and an almost full signal on 5.
