Q: internet stops working after being connected for 5 minutes to wifi

My macbook pro running on os x mavericks is giving me an issue. After 5 minutes  of connection with the wifi network, the internet stops working even though its connected the network. Reconnecting fixes it for yet another 5 minutes.

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

    Might be corrupted network preferences ..


     

    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

     

    Type or copy paste the following:

     

    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

     

    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.

     

     

    See if that makes a difference.

     

    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
