13" Retina MBP Power Nap, loses Wi-Fi connection after wake up?

I have a Late 2013 13" Retina MBP running Mavericks (all updates installed) + a 2013 Time Capsule that is used for my Time Machine backup during charging sleep at night via the Power Nap feature.

Backups are fine, but once I turn on the laptop in the morning after a successful backup, I lose network connectivity. The wifi network to the TC is still connected (full bars at 5GHz band) but no IP connectivity - total ping loss.

Any remedy to this? There is no issue if Power Nap didn't run but only happens I let Power Nap run at night with the laptop sleeping with power source charging.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I have a 15 inch mbp retina late 2013 with exactly the same issue. I have to turn it off and on after a longer duration of sleep.

Well - at least I'm not the only one. Thank you for starting this thread. Perhaps it will evolve into an update of sorts.

I have a new mbp retina and the new apple extreme w/ 802.11ac.

I'm using the brand new Time Capsule. I wonder if that's the common thread.

This seems to be fixed in the latest Airport Extreme/Time Capsule firmware update 7.7.2 - AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.7.2

Works for me now 🙂

This is a problem using any Wireess AP, not just time capsule. Are there any fixes other than the sugested "repair permissions" and reinstall the OS on the macbook?

I'm using a cisco EA2700, but the macbook pro 13 retina is the only device that I'm having this isse with.

Thanks,
