Dec 13, 2015 12:29 PM in response to TerryNikopby jason269,Hello, TerryNikop.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing an issue with Wi-Fi disconnecting on your MacBook Air. I would start with processing any firmware updates for your router and adjust the settings per the article below. You may also want to make sure that you aren't connected to a guest network and test changing between the 2.4 and 5 GHz options that most routers offer if available.
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You may also want to try creating a new Wi-Fi location and then test to see if the network drops.
Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later)
Next, try creating a new user on your Mac and test to see if the behavior persists. Please let me know the results of these tests in your follow-up.

Dec 13, 2015 12:55 PM in response to jason269by gcatellani,Hi there,
after upgrading from 10.11.1 to 10.11.2 I started experiencing this problem too. On my second Mac Book I still have 10.11.1 and no problems.
The same problem also arose today on two iOS-Devices (iPhone 6+, iPad Air 1) with the new iOS 9.2. On a third iOS-Device (iPhone 5S) still featuring iOS 9.1 I don't have that problem.
The devices all lose connectivity after the upgrade to the newest SW version. They can't connect to the network at all or for a very very short amount of time. Suprisingly though my iPhone 6+ (iOS 9.2) can connect to one of my access points but not the other, even though they are configured with the same WIFI settings. Both APs are from different vendors, one Fritz!Box 6490 Cable (no problem on the 6+. problems with all other devices running 10.11.2 or 9.2) and a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND. Both have the newest firmware revisions available.
None of the above 1st level troubleshooting guides posted above helped.
Would appreciate a fix 10.11.3 and 9.2.1 ASAP.
Best regards,
gcatellani
