MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) and intermittent network connectivity

Similar to discussion here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253459149?login=true but on Ventura. I have Google Mesh Wifi and Cisco Anyconnect 4.10.93. A few times a day any zoom or ssh sessions drop, VPN drops and networking is out to lunch for 1-3 minutes then it comes back. My Internet service is fine on other devices so it's not my ISP. Looks like the issue was eventually fixed in Monterey but is back for me on Ventura. Maybe a bug fix that was not carried forward?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.2

Problem solved by working with my IT dept and getting the latest Cisco AnyConnect installed. Since installing and rebooting, the problem has not re-occurred.

Yes I only use Wifi, but it's notable the issue happens with other network adaptors. Maybe it's an issue with the core networking stack and not specific to the which network adaptor is in use.

I do think this is an issue with Ventura. I was fine with an x86 Macbook Pro with Monterey, but the problems started when I upgraded it to Ventura. I since changed to an M1 Macbook Pro with Ventura but I'm still having the problem.

Apple are you there? Any fixes for this to look forward to?

If not I guess I'll have to replace my Wifi gear, even though it works fine with all other devices. I'd rather get rid of the MacBook but I'm stuck using it for work.

Is your connection only with Wifi? I have documented a somewhat similar issue in this thread but with a USB-C adapter: USB-C ethernet connection not stable with… - Apple Community
