my macbook pro 13" retina keeps dropping wifi connection

I'M using airport to connect this macbook pro retina to via wifi to the internet with excellent signal. It keeps dropping the wifi network on/off/on & therefore sometimes web pages take ages to dsiplay. If you click on wifi indicator, it says "looking for signal" & then "on", its happening for about 2 months. My other devices (iphone & ipad dont have any isssues & work 100% via wifi from the same airport.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

If the troubleshooting suggestions here don't help you, and if your other devices work 100% when they are at exactly the same location as gives problems with your MBP, it sounds to me like a hardware problem with your MBP.


For hardware problems, contact Apple or your Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

Hi there, I don't know wether this might help you or not but i had the same issue and I believe the problem is due to other devices causing interference with the signal especially USB 3 devices. There is a white paper documenting this issus and the only solution I could come up with was to move the USB drive further away from the back hinge of the macbook...Like I said hope this helps.

Best regards.
