Keeping losing wifi connection

My MacBook Air regularly loses its wifi connection but my ipad never does. How can I fix this? It's a 2014 laptop - replaced the battery recently.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

If you have not tried the following then please do one at a time-


  1. Forget the WiFi Network in Network Preferences and then add it again. If that does not solve the issue then-
  2. Reboot your WiFi Router by unplugging it from power for 40 seconds and plugging it back in. If that does not work then-
  3. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook Air here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  4. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook Air here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  5. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer.
