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.
