Q: Why does my macbook pro keep disconnecting from the internet?

For whatever reason my Macbook pro 15in keeps disconnecting from the internet everytime it goes to sleep. And sometimes when I wake it up, I have to turn wifi on and off a couple times to get it to detect the right signal. This does not happen with my playstation or my phone so it has to be a problem with the Macbook itself. Can anyone give me any information on how to fix this problem? Anything would be greatly appreciated.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Hello, amal111.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Also, make sure all firmware updates have been processed on the router and the settings have been adjusted to the recommended settings in the second article below.

I have had this problem continually since I bought this computer mid 2012. All of my other network devices stay connected. I have made many trips to the Apple Store and placed calls with Apple Support. I finally had them swap out the wifi card and cable and I STILL have the problem. I think this is a lemon.
