Yes! But... you will need a USB to Ethernet adapter. The Surface RT (in and Pro, for that matter) do not have ethernet ports... they are WiFi only, out of the box. You can get a cheap USB to Eternet adapter for under $30 most anywhere. For the RT, make sure you get one that will work with it specifically... you cannot install drivers easily, but there are certain ones that will work out of the box.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Surface RT does have an USB port, but it is unable to work with a USB-to-Ethernet adapter. You might want to look at purchasing a wireless router to set up at home. If you do decide to get a router, take a look at one that is 802.11n compatible.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When I was in Scotland I could not connect with Cloud because I had given it my US address. My friend's computer was in the shop and the Surface would not interface with their broadband. So I was blind, deaf and voiceless. GRRRR.
