WiFi stops working on MacBook Pro (2017, 13") recently upgraded to Ventura 13.6

My laptop will not reliably connect to my WiFi network since I upgraded to Venture 13.6. It runs for a while, and then stops working. The only way to get it functioning is to turn WiFi on and off. I have disabled Bluetooth and Airdrop per recommendations from earlier support threads, but it still happens.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Wifi keeps dropping Macbook Pro running Ventura 13.3.1 keeps dropping the Wifi. If I switch off the network and switch back on I can reconnect. Other devices are connected to the same network and are unaffected. I tried switching the Macbook off and rebooting - but unresolved. Any thoughts?

WiFi Connection of MacBook Air M1 is UNSTABLE MacBook Air M1, 2022. Ventura 13.4.1. Its WiFi connection is truly unstable. It often disconnects without any particular reason, and reconnects after retry for a short while, both of the two behavior happened automatically. And sometimes, it will repeat time and time again, so I have to reboot this laptop. My WiFi router works well. While the M1's WiFi disconnection happens, all WiFi connections of other devices such as MacBook Air M2 (2022), iPhones, Android Phones, Android TV, etc, keep connected without any disruption. I found other users have the same/similar situations, but all the responses lead them in the wrong direction, like checking your WiFi router or making sure there are no other devices interfer the WiFi signal. I just need a confirmation if this issue could be fixed by updates of Mac OS? Any useful advice would be welcome, and thanks in advance!

Have you tried rebooting into safemode? This often times fixes many anomalies.
