Wifi keeps dropping in Windows 10 (BootCamp) on new tbMBP 15"

tried them all, I still get the icon flashing to a no connection lan kind of thing, and then back to wifi. I even tried the NVRAM and VRAM reset, no luck there, this worked for me once, and then never again.

same problem here.

all though i can sometimes connect easier thru my iphone 7 hotspot.

Also sometimes when i touch my macbook or move the lid it suddenly connects and internet works.

Almost if the signal has a bad output thru the macbook body?

hope they fix it soon! cause this is really crappy.

I had this issue and installed the “Windows Apple Software Update" that came out mid January which has an updated WiFi driver. My WiFi connection is solid now. The Broadcom driver it installed is 7.35.118.68.

Careful Scott, you can't say here that the problem is fixed - you'll be accused of not spending 24 hours testing it to verify the issue is fixed. 😝

I'd venture there are people in this thread who are using Windows full-time on their MacBooks rather than macOS, and they might see issues someone like me (who's using macOS 99% of the time on his MacBook) simply won't see.

I do hope Apple is continuing to work on this and will release new drivers that make it solid for everyone.

Unless users can specify the environment in which they are successful or unsuccessful, 'working' is a very ambiguous state. For example see the specific environment that Kippy Kip referenced. It would be good to see test results with environmental details, to further narrow down problematic areas. Is the driver perfect, unlikely? If you OS X and Windows behave identically for an equal amount of time, then in your specific environment, the driver is adequate, but it may not be in others. 😉

Mine are pretty much the same as kippy kip's except my bandwidth capabilities were left at the default. I will post images later. The .68 driver was the turning point for resolving this for me given that the same settings were not working prior to the update.

Couldn't agree more, jasondunn. I can say it is fixed for me though, and given that Apple did provide an updated driver it would make sense for anyone that doesn't have it, but is suffering from this issue to install it and see if the issue still exists. If so, we can go from there. Certainly there are many other issues that can cause this symptom, including misconfiguration, but always good to start with the more likely, and simplist steps, don't you think 🙂

so ive installed the program, but couldnt really see what kind of connection it is. (802 etc).

Only thing i see is the SSID code and that im not connecting to a 5ghz connection but a 2.4 band.

Also i tried what Kippy kip said, but that didnt work out for me sadly.

And on the apple updater i didnt see any updates to my network adapters (only basic itunes updates).

Okay that one works, it says at the 802.11 tab: b, g, n... with a max speed of 270mbps.

Not sure if that is what u wanted to know? and how this makes sense to the problem i have.

by the way im on wifi now, coneccted.. it seems like at the startup of windows it doesnt work but later on it suddenly connects.

really weird!

So looks like if I leave it after a boot just like that, it connects automatically after sometime (not immediately on boot) or sometimes after about 2-3 mins, if I manually try to connect it connects to the network, but the speeds are horrendously slow compared to OSX. Don't know how this suddenly happened or maybe I was not patient enough to wait for it to connect after that time, but at least one step forward. The speeds however are quite slow, maybe the next driver set will be better.

It is a single chip that performs both Bluetooth and WiFi functions.

It's very possible one affects the other. In my scenario, turning off Bluetooth does not fix the problem.

At first it can appear to but sure enough the problem returns.

The latest driver I have is the .64 version, and no updates are available according to Apple Software Update. Even if I re-download the bootcamp drivers using the bootcamp utility in macos, it still gives me the package with the .64 version.

You will need to download it via the apple software update in bootcamp once you have got it up and running.

I still can't believe that apple has not released a new driver set for this! Mine is back to the old not connecting to any network scenario. Is it just all of us in this forum who have installed bootcamp on their new devices? 🙂

Hello LonerT

Thanks for getting back to me.

1. Please remove 'mixed' mode of 802.11b/g/n and try with 5G/n Only.

I tried 802.11n only, and the results were the same.

2. Does your AP support 802.11ac?
My router only supports b/g/n

3. Does OS X have any issues?
Nop, as I shows on my comment, it is fast and no package lost.

If you are not tied to a ISP-provided AP, you may want to test with a returnable and refurbished 802.11ac AP and use it to test. 2.4G has other challenges which compound the driver issues on the Windows side.
