MacOS Sequoia installed. Internet will randomly drop connection

It has not fixed the issue. I still randomly have the network seem to drop, when all is fine. I can be streaming a video from Youtube or something and then have my Teams app report that the network was lost, my email will stop sending and receiving...but the the video is still streaming beyond a buffer. Seems like DNS config, some combination of flushing cache and preventing nslookup or something. After about 1 or 2 minutes it will return. Weird thing is that if it happens when I am in a Teams or Zoom call, I get bumped out for a few minutes...so different behavior than streaming video vs. streaming collaboration.

I'm on an M2 Macbook Air as well, and have just upgraded to Sequoia 15.3

As of this morning, my internet connectivity has been almost zero, and I had to track down this comments thread on my mobile phone, because the browsers on my Mac no longer worked (and I'll spare you the diatribe about how that affects my work...)

Then of course, as soon as I found this thread, my browser connectivity seemed to pick up again. Very concerning, nonetheless.

Thanks for the input. Are you referring to the adapter within the Mac Studio? Wouldn't surprise me to discover Apple uses cheap components but I'd hope not.

When you "remove" the adapter as referenced...are you referring to selecting "Delete Service", "Make Inactive", or something different?

I'd note during these periods when my Mac Studio- with Sequoia- inexplicably disconnects and all Internet activity is broken, I've turned off Ethernet (thereby making WiFi the lone connection) and the issue isn't overcome. I've also turned off WiFI (thereby making hardwired Ethernet the lone connection) and this doesn't solve the problem either. Thus far, only a restart will restore the connection needed for Internet access. It never happened before "upgrading" to Sequoia but, although unlikely, could be a coincidence.

Mine is set to fixed and I am still having issues with random drops. Websites in a chromium based browser are having connectivity issues, ssh connection are being kicked off. Ugh!

I'm also seeing this problem.

Problem occurs on wifi and wired, on home and office internet connections.

Haven't found a solution yet.

The problem occurs on WIRED connections as well as wifi, and the settings you specified aren't present for the wired ethernet connection.

I use Little Snitch and so far with Version 6.1.1 haven't had any trouble with it (knock on wood).

hi there, how do I do this? I am not a "techy" person and I am really struggling with this. Everyone keeps mentioning the "snitch" and I dunno what this is lol THANK YOU!

My internet speeds are so slow now!

Snitch is software to let you use pirated software.

This issue SHOULD have been FIXED BY APPLE!!!

Not us

Reflects the horrendous incompetent state of software developers

This is exactly a problem that I’ve faced. I can’t even access web browsers either - it will never load in for me.

Update, it seems to have fixed the problem for Teams and Zoom meetings. But I still have a total network hang a couple of times a day that lasts around 90-120 seconds effecting all applications.

Same it's crazy... comon Apple. I've had intermittent wifi for a week now on my newly spec-ed out Macbook Pro M3 Max 14''. And Wifi works fine on my other devices.

wish I could.... controlled by IT ADMIN =(
