After the update Catalina 10.15.7 have problems with the Internet connection

Hello!

After yesterday's MAC OS Catalina 10.15.7 update, today I had a problem with the WiFI connection.

The connection is excellent, the icon shows that everything is fine, but the Internet periodically disappears. Yesterday, after the update, I did not notice any problems. Today it started, it's impossible to work, after turning off and turning on WiFi, the Internet works for 5-10 minutes and then problems again.

There were no such problems before the update.

I have an Airport Express router (firmware 7.81). Rebooting the router, resetting the settings does not help.

No problem with other devices like PS4, TV, Windows laptops.

Next to the Macbook is an old DELL XPS running Windows - Wi-Fi and internet are great, no problem.

PS: Iphone is experiencing similar issues after updating to 14.0.1.

For the first time in 10 years of using Apple devices, I faced such a problem. When nearby old Windows laptops are working fine and new Apple devices are not working (((

Please help. At the moment, the devices cannot work stably due to these problems.

Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Apple has outsourced software development to India. Apple customers pay the price.

I'm also not sure how I feel about EtreCheck telling me my MacBook Pro may be considered "vintage."

Dec 9, 2020 6:10 AM in response to kevinfrompoulsbo

"Vintage" is a designation used by Apple for equipment that is over 5 years old. It is not depreciative or anything, just a name.

Definitely a problem for me too - wifi connection keeps dropping. Please look into this issue.

Good to know, thanks Kevin! Does one frequency work more than the other? (2.4ghz VS. 5ghz)? I don’t believe this had to do with my issue, as I fixed it another away, just curious. Hope it keeps up!

Exactly the same problem, it's very frustrating especially while working remotely at home during these days.

I decide to upgrade to the Big Sur, maybe it will help.

Hi hamza2331,

then your problem was different from the one discussed here, as rebooting the router has no effect. See above.

Thanks.

Glad that worked for you. I think that’s always a good simple step to take, even if it connects to other devices just fine but not one in particular, re-forcing the connection between the two.

Sorry to read nothing was successful for a fix. Even now, my MB will drop WiFi for no reason.

The only way I know to go back to 10.15.6 is if you have a Time Machine backup.

This makes me wonder if Apple has a WiFi driver problem.
