can't Update Software: constantly lose network connection?

———-


The Connection:

Restart your router. Also, try connecting to a different network. See if that works.


On the Mac, A Few Thoughts:

Sometimes when changes(i.e. updates) are made to the system, system configurations (i.e. for Wi-Fi) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.


  • External Keyboard:

Use a different external keyboard, if available option, to reset these, if it does not work on the Mac.


  • Use Ethernet:

Ethernet is a hardwired connection. So, try it, and see if it fixes this to successful upgrade. It would connect from your computer, directly in to router.
