Wifi connection on MacBook 2016 drops off randomly

My MacBook (MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) wifi connection drops off randomly, often every 10 -15 minutes. This doesn't happen with my MacBook air or iPhones on the the same network connection. I can only get around this by turning wifi off and on again or by using "Network Diagnosis". “Wireless Diagnosis" says: "the following nearby networks conflicts with your current country code (DE)" but I do not have access/contact to that owner. Has been like this January and still a problem after latest updates. Quite annoying - any ideas ?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Have similar problem here in Canada (CA) on Retina MacBook 2016. My Router is configured to broadcast correctly (CA). Various other Access Points in Condo are broadcasting as United States (US) and fine numerous Network Conflicts which can not be resolve. Do not operate other peoples Routers to change their broadcast to CA.

No really solution here except to move as far ways from others AP as possible or install foil on walls to block their signal (haha!)

Hi,


The problem message you're getting suggest that there might be a problem with the country Setting for your computer. What country are you currently in? You could look in the System Preferences, in particular the Language & Region preference. A screen shot of my settings is below.

If the region indicated does not match where you actually are, you're lucky. That's easy to fix. Linc Davis's questions in the previous post may help in troubleshooting further if it's not a simple change in settings.


Please let us know what you figure out.


By the way what does this information from your post refer to? "MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)"

So I got phone support today and as far as I remember they asked me to do the following:


  1. Go to Library (Finder-Go-Option)
    1. trash “Cashes”
    2. trash “cookies”
    3. trash “Launch Agents”
  2. Go to System Preferences
    1. Choose “Users & Groups”
    2. Click "Login Items"
    3. Trash all login items except the Apple icon
  3. Close down your Mac
  4. Restart with Option, Command, R and P (not sure about P?) keys down

    3 times startup sound should be heard

  5. Empty trash

I will check my Macbook for the next coming days to see if worked out successfully and let you know. Thanks!
