My wifi drops, but the wifi sign is still 'on'
Device:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)
Processor 1,4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
OS X El Capitan
I have this problem for a couple of months with every wifi connection I get connected to.
When I am connected to a wifi connection, at some point, it seems like the signal has been broken. But the wifi sign is actually saying that I am connected. The browsers are not recognising as a internet drop as well and keep a loading bar that does not show improvements. I tried to do nothing for an hour, just to see if it was not just really bad internet, but it was not.
When I disconnect the wifi, the browsers will finally respond something like: no internet connection. When I reconnect, the wifi acts like nothing happened, and just feed me a steady high speed internet connection. Just after a quarter or so, this whole thing happens again.
The internet speed is good, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for 5 minutes.
I tried multiple things that the internet suggested to do if you have a bad internet connection on El Capitan. Nothing worked so far.
I wonder if someone got a clue what this is and maybe even a solution. I find it hard to make good search term for this problem.
