Intermittent Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues on MacBook M2 Pro

I am experiencing Wi-Fi issues on my MacBook M2 Pro. Upon startup, my device connects to the Wi-Fi network, but internet connectivity doesn't work for the first 10-15 seconds. After that, the internet works fine for a while. However, during my work, the network drops randomly, causing interruptions.

This issue persists regardless of the network I connect to. I have tried reconnecting to the Wi-Fi, restarting the router, and even resetting network settings, but the issue continues.

Since I am a programmer, this disruption is affecting my productivity. Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.2

Wireless diagnostics:

By far the easiest way to cause poor performance, instability, overheating and crashing is to install ANY third-party speeder-uppers, Cleaners, Optimizers, or Virus scanners, Bit Torrent, or a VPN that you installed yourself.


¿Are you running anything like that?


Hold down the Option key while you click on the Wi-Fi icon on the menubar to open up the tools for investigating and fixing Wi-Fi issues


First is "Open Wireless diagnostics", which opens the wireless diagnostics Assistant, but does not proceed.


There are about eight different things you can do from here, but the top-level is to choose Diagnostics off the Window menu, or simply click continue, to do a quick check for Gross misconfiguration or operating problems. Your Admin password will be required. If any recommendations are shown, you should consider then seriously.


Next is to hold down the Option key and click the Wi-Fi icon as before. The screen that opens shows operating parameters of your network. Screenshot, transcribe, or photograph the results and post back in a reply on the forums. Looks like this older one.
