Macbook M2 Pro Wifi disconnecting

The Wifi connection disconnects 2-3 times a day.


It only happens on the Macbook M2 Pro. At the time it disconnects, I test my Iphone and another laptop, both connected to the same wifi network, the other ones keep working, but the macbook looses connectivity for 1-2 minutes.


Whenever it happened, I ran dmesg and was able to constantly see the same error:


connect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesconnect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesconnect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesconnect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesconnect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesconnect() - failed necp_set_socket_domain_attributesApplePPMPolicyCPMS::setDetailedThermalPowerBudget:setDetailedThermalPowerBudget


I searched on the internet but couldn't find more details.


What's going on? The laptop has only 1 week of usage.


MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5

I had this exact problem with my brand new Macbook PRO M2 16 inch and I was losing my mind for about 1 hour until I figured out how to fix it. Turns out it was pretty simple:


1) Open Wi-Fi Settings

2) Click "Details"on the wifi connection.

3) Click "TCP/IP"

4) Go where it says "Configure IPv6" and it should normally have "Automatically"option selected. Change that option to "Link-Local Only"


Now connect again and it should work without problems.


I'm just posting this so others can see and perhaps fix their issue because I searched everywhere and couldn't find such a fix.

So sorry, I wrote shift by mistake. Just as you observed, it should be Option.


you have good Raw signal (RSSI) where -40 is right next to your Router, and around -70 is looking for a new connection urgently.


Your report says you have made a 40 MHz connection on channel 44, but the numbers are not quite right. the speeds you attained are only a 20 MHz connection.


Unless you are far away from your neighbors, other Routers nearby are likely using the same channel, and interfering with your ability to run at higher speeds.

Is in my prep kitchen, the router is almost next to me, never had any issues until I upgraded to the new macOS tbh


yes multiple people can be on the same WiFi, however this time around I made sure (before posting anything) literally nobody was using it, as nobody was in the building + I changed temporary the password to a new one to make double sure no one would interfere


is there any fix or just have to wait until apple solves this with a patch?


is hugely annoying getting thrown off every so often 😔
