May 27, 2016 10:40 PM in response to jfculatby eteunisse,Used El Capitan since the first beta. Kept using it even with the wifi problem. Tried all the suggestions. Two weeks ago a clean install. After a few days the wifi problem was back.
I have a MacBook Retina late 2013. Airport Extreme router. Wifi problem on 2.4 and 5Ghz.
Yesterday did a 'downgrade' to Yosemite.
I will keep following this thread to see if Apple solved this software issue and I dare to 'upgrade' again to 10.11.

May 28, 2016 9:10 AM in response to eteunisseby davirs,Hi, after 10 days with no driver crash and happy! Now it is crashing again... 802.11n + 802.11d (correct country code). But this time it took longer to crash but it crashed. So back to 802.11g to have a stable wi-fi.
****!!

May 28, 2016 9:33 AM in response to davirsby davirs,I was entering my Airport Express configuration to change the Radio Mode to 802.11g and I was surprised that Apple released a firmware update 7.6.7 (24 May 2016). Here is the info:
Firmware update 7.6.7 is recommended for all Apple 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations including AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule. This update improves the stability and performance of your base station.
This update:
- Fixes an issue which may prevent communication between clients on the same network
- Improves performance with an extended guest network
- Addresses potential naming conflicts with Bonjour Sleep Proxy
So, maybe our problems was not the MBP only but the Airport stations + El Capitan.
Back to the drawing board... 802.11n set and testing again.

May 28, 2016 11:02 AM in response to davirsby sendoaportuondo,Unfortunately, I don't think so. I have installed Windows 10 (Bootcamp) and the wifi doesn't drop. It's an OSX problem.

Jun 5, 2016 3:40 AM in response to jfculatby TheB113,Hello,
I I've been following this board for several months now, because ever since El Capitan I've had the same problems... Constant wifi drops..
The only solution i found that worked is what DS916 said.. To downgrade back to Yosemite! I did this yesterday and the Wifi works great again!! No drops no bad connection. It works better then before! It did suck that i didn't have a time machine backup of Yosemite but downgrading was definitely worth the trouble.
Hopefully there will be a fix in the future but for now i would recommend Yosemite!

Jun 5, 2016 8:59 AM in response to TheB113by DS916,Congrats @TheB113. Yeah, downgrading was the best decision in my opinion. Wifi works great now and no more countless hours of troubleshooting something Apple should be doing. As long as your only within a version or two of the latest OSX then life cant be too bad:) Future lesson me...always wait awhile before upgrading. Dont forget to make a time machine backup in case you run into the same problem again while upgrading to the next OSX:)

Jul 16, 2016 3:56 PM in response to jfculatby Ijay93,I read the latest comment and tried my luck with Sierra Public Beta 1 and found the same problem still exists.
I wish i could say it fixed it, however under heavy CPU/GPU loads the wifi would once again drop out.
Tested it while gaming online and while trying to download a larger file. Back to Yosemite for me. -
Oct 16, 2016 3:20 PM in response to esteban108by GeorgS.,You need to re-set your NVRAM.
See here: NVRAM auf Ihrem Mac zurücksetzen - Apple Support
It's not difficult.
That solved the problem for me. Good luck!
