Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have updated my M1-PowerBook to Monterey (12.0.1 (21A559)) and for a few days it was ok. As of today when I try to connect to my wifi it keeps trying to establish a connection and once it connects it disconnects after 5 seconds or so !!!
Any suggestions? I have shut down my computer several times and even reset my PARM.

Hey gss2,
It sounds like you have some concerns with your MacBook's internet disconnecting.
Check out this resource to go though Wireless Diagnostics, as this can help check for any obvious issues: If your Mac doesn't connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi - Apple Support.
Also be sure that there isn't any potential interference that could be affecting the connection: Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support.
As another step, resetting the SMC to see if it resolves the issue: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support.
Take care.
Thank you for your suggestions but.... According to comments online with the M1 you can't reset the SMC !!!! Is that correct ?
I tried the key combination from the turned state and it did not turn off the system.
Hey gss2,
Thanks for following up. You're correct that on an M1 Mac you will not be able to reset the SMC. You mentioned you tried the key combination, can you explain a little more about what you mean? Are you referring to starting the diagnostics? Are you using the built-in keyboard on the Mac? What if you restart and try again?
Keep us updated.
Hi All,
Same issue here. Since the last update my wifi keeps disconnecting. I have tried hotspot to my phone and wifi, the experience is the same. If I connect my phone with the lightning cable internet works fine. Also with ethernet.
OS X 12.0.1 MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports)
I have the same problem, Macbook M1 Monterey 12.0.1
Sometimes the wifi disconnects after about 5 seconds, this happens repeatedly then stops.
What's going on? I did not have this problem with my Intel Macbook
Upgrading to Monterey 12.1 did not help.
I feel like this happens more often when I have just opened the macbook and it comes out of sleep, but it does sometimes happen at random.
I have a Google Wifi network at home, but this has happened in several other places as well, such as hotels or on an Eeero network.
I can't believe I'm the only one seeing this, does Apple have any workarounds I can use?
I noticed that this does not seem to happen when I connect to my iPhone hotspot, but perhaps that uses a different protocol or driver?
Update to macOS v12.1 and reassess if the Wi-Fi connection issues remain, or are resolved.
