Macbook Pro random dropping wifi with Google wifi
I have been having an issue with loosing wifi on my MacBook pro (15" 2017 - A1707) for at least a year. When it happens everything else in the house still has internet/wifi and works. I loose access to the internet and cannot ping my Default gateway but my wireless says its still connected. I recently ripped out all my older Google APs and replaced them with 4 new Google Nest Wifi Pro APs. All AP are hardwired. I also removed a hodgepodge network I had consisting of an old cisco 3750 switch and replaced the whole thing with a Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE and a couple Unifi flex mini switches. I went with Ubiquiti because it was the cheapest way to get decent network monitoring from the fabric. I am a Cisco CCIE and generally know my stuff when it comes to networks. I also bought a new MacBook Pro M2 max. My MacBook never moves causing any roaming issues or anything - its on my desk in front of me. All this was replaced within the last 10 days. However, the problem is still occurring randomly. I cannot recreate it. Its sporadic - maybe a couple times a day and sometimes I don't notice it for several days (but that could be because I'm not using my MacBook during the outage). Outages last for 1-10 mins. On my old wireless setup I had a Guest SSID and i could switch to that and be back online pretty quick - on my newly rebuild network, I haven't turned on Guest yet just to keep stuff simplified. Every other device on my network seems to keep working fine when my MacBook wifi fails - leads me to believe its MAC related. A reboot seems to resolve the issue for a while - but it takes a few minutes to reboot and wifi normally comes back with a few minutes anyways.
Devices that I have on my network include...
-AppleTV - 3 of them
-a few ipads
-a few iphones
-couple apple watches
-Sonos Speakers - 6
-Reolink DVR (runs its own private LAN for cameras)
-Nest thermostat
-Some IoT devices like garage door openers, temp/humidity sensors etc
-HP Printer
-Lexmark Printer
no game consoles
I currently am running a single VLAN except for that private vlan that Reolink uses for cameras - its non routed.
I use "Family Wifi" to turn off the wifi to my kids iPads @ 9pm every night but this issue doesn't seem to correlate with that.
I saw a couple other threads on this but they are all no longer accepting replies.
Has anyone solved for this?
Since everything is now "new" - I am tempted to just start opening support tickets with all the manufactures until I frustrate them. :) I have spent in excess of $7k in the last 2 weeks replacing a MacBook, all APs, all switching and have nothing to show for it. Plus, working as a Senior engineer on enterprise networks - this stuff shouldn't kick my arse - yet here we are. LOL
