Wi-Fi Disconnects
I am trying to run my MacBook Pro 2021 (Monterey) through an external monitor.
It works perfectly when my Macbook is open however I would like to use it in clamshell to reduce the risk of screen burn and strain on processing.
Whenever I close my Macbook to do so, all of the functions still work fine however it disconnects me from the Wi-Fi after a minute or 2. I have tried to re-connect to the Wi-Fi through my monitor with my Macbook closed and it fails to do so.
I thought that it may be going into sleep mode so I changed the following settings:
"System Preferences"
"Battery"
"Power Adapter"
"Turn Display Off After" - Set to Never
"System Preferences"
"Battery"
"Power Adapter"
"Prevent Your Mac From Automatically Sleeping When the Display Is Off" - Ticked Box
"System Preferences"
"Battery"
"Power Adapter"
"Wake For Network Access" - Left this Ticked as default
Please could someone advise on where I am going wrong?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.5
