MacBook Pro Loose Wifi Connection

Hi. My MacBook Pro often looses it's Wifi connection when I use it home. To correct the issue I click to "Turn off Wifi" on the top menu bar and immediately turn it back on again. That restores the connection.


It's very annoying to have to do this a few times an hour. What can I do to stop the lose of connection from happening?


This only happens when I am at home and no other devices at our home has this issue.


Thanks!

if you are using any 3rd party utility remove it as the developer directs on their website (e.g. not "drag it to the trash")

if you are using any Mac Anti-Virus remove it as the developer directs on their website
