Wifi does not work sporadically

Hello,


I often have issues with my Wifi. This happens 2-4 a week when I connect to my iphone as hotspot or sometimes connectimg to another access point. The connection itself works. Connected to the accesspoint without any issues but the Mac shows me that I have no internet. When I delete the Wifi interface in the MACs config and create it again, the network works again.

I have found a log, hope that helps.


MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.


System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.


The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.


Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.


System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
