Q: Wifi problem since 10.11.2

Hi,

 

I have some Wifi issues since I installed 10.11.2.

Before all work perfectly and since 10.11.2, my wifi always disconnect and the reconnect.

 

Do you have also new problems with Wifi? and maybe a solution?

 

Thanks

    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.

    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.

     

    ****!!

    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.

    Unfortunately, I don't think so. I have installed Windows 10 (Bootcamp) and the wifi doesn't drop. It's an OSX problem.

    Just had my late 2013 15 inch Retina Macbook Pro replaced with a mid 2015 version and problem is gone... completely gone... Wifi is stable again.

    How did you manage to get your mpb replaced with a new one?

    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!

    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:)

    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.

    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!
