Possible wifi bug? Whenever I open my Macbook Pro (M1 Max on OS 12.5) after a prolonged (>30min) period of time closed, wifi doesn't connect as expected and web browsers keep reloading webpages trying to connect. The only solution so far is by restarting. Any ideas what the source of this issue might be?

MacBook Air 2019 wifi disconnection with overheating It's so annoying that whenever my MacBook gets overheated it comes with repetition of wifi connection and disconnection, which happens obviously when running heavy programs such as Zoom, FaceTime or even Google Chrome... Why does this happen...? What's the mechanism between overheating and wifi disconnection? Any fundamental solutions other than not overloading my Mac or putting limits on CPU? Thanks in advance !
