Q: WiFi disconnects by it self Mavericks problems

Since I upgraded to Mavericks I have been experiencing problems with the WiFi connection. Specially when not using the computer for a few minutes. I find this very disturbing since I might want to keep connected for any purpose. Is there any change in Mavericks software that could be causing this?

I also found that Mavericks seems to be little less smooth than Mountain Lion. I don't think that would have to do with a lack of resources in the coputer.

Thanks,

System Information - Networks - Wifi reveals very poor S/N and transfer rate. One might think that this is due to a lot of interference from other bits of electrical kit but I can't find anything that makes a difference when switched off. Like you, all our other stuff (iPhones, iPads, PCs) work just fine.
It's almost as if the MBP is generating its own interference.

I have spent a lot of time on the phone with the good people of Apple care but try as they might they haven't been able to come up with anything that helps.

I had an engineer look at my MBP and he couldn't find any damage to the wireless card or antennae. I have installed a cheap little Asus USB N10 router and bingo, all is well. This means that there is nothing wrong with the routers and points to a malfunction in the onboard card but doesn't help to discover the origins of the problem. Is it caused by or merely contemporary with the Mavericks upgrade?

had the same problem since updating to Mavericks. spent all morning trying various solutions that didn't change anything for me. it would appear that Moodumbrella's link to this site
http://howtoapple.com/mavericks-wifi-issues-fix/
and specifically the 'Set Service Order' section is the one that has solved my dilema. Thnks Moodumbrella!!!

Thanks moodumbrella, it worked for me. The problem is now resolved. cmd + alt + P + R did the trick after restart

This too (seems to) worked for me. Crossing fingers. I have an old-ish iMac early 2009. Still turns off connection after some inactivity.
