MBPr Mid (2013) - Running in Clamshell mode.
My Problem : WIFI Drops when connecting Bluetooth Keyboard / Mouse. No divices connected it seems ok. but for clamshell, that's kind of difficult with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
In Frustration i've written a little script to run in the background which Is now on version 3, but keeps me running with everything appearing to work ok and i don't have to worry about clicking / restarting anything the script does it all. I offer no guarantees, and the script may change a little over the day but it appears ok so far, with having to automatically reset the wifi 3 times in just under an hour.
Edit the script and put your own router id in it :- YOURROUTERID=192.168.1.1
What it looks like running in a terminal :-
