MBPro 15": wifi not persistent

Hi.

I apologize for my ppor English. I hope I'll be clear.


I have a MB Pro 15" 2015 with a Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.21.94.29.1a4) wifi chipset. The MBP is connected via a TP-link repeater as the main wifi/router is far. When I connect to the net it starts fine but in a few minutes performance degrade progressively to an inexistant connection. The only way to restablish the connection is reboot the MBP. I can't work in this way, as you can immagine.


TCP/IP ha been used bot as DHCP or manual config. DNS have tested insertin the main router's IP address or with others (e.g.: Google's).

Encryption has been set both to nothing and to WPA2/AES.

All preferences files in HD->Librery->Prefrences->System, Configuration have been deleted and all connections recreated.

SMC has been reset twice.

PRAM rest has been done a few tims.

Nothing changes.

But with a 13" / 2012 everything works fine.

Should i think the chipset is faulted?


TIA for any help.
