Wifi Connection Failing

I’m having troubles with the wifi connection on my Macbook Pro M-1 2020 computer. It keeps disconnecting from my house wifi sporadically, meanwhile my iPhone wifi is working perfectly fine. Please help 😭, it’s getting annoying having to re click over and over again.


A little fyi, I’ve already disconnected and reconnected the internet connection and I’ve renewed the DHCP lease a couple times already and nothing has worked.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Troubleshooting Mac Wi-Fi:

A few thoughts to try...

I. Clear the Temporary Internet Files:


II. Restart your Router:

  1. Power: off the router
  2. Wait: 30 seconds
  3. Power: It back on


III. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe ModeLogin Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, wait 30 seconds, and then boot up normally, attempting another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


IV. Try a New Admin User:

What happens when you create a new administrator user, and log into it? Do you still get this error? If not, then it is likely an error with the current user. If so, then it is likely an error with your Mac.
