15" Macbook pro 2016 USB-C adapter wifi issue

Yeah, this is the exact reason behind the problem. The wi-fi comes back even if you only put your hands on ports as a shelter. There is also a paper about this problem written by Intel. Here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb3-frequency-i nterference-paper.html

Hello, it's a little old topic but decided to answer anyway

The same topic in this discussion: http://www.mac-forums.com/apple-notebooks/342030-2017-mbp-usb-wifi-issues-solved .html

I wrapped my USB adapter to ALUMINIUM FOLIO and immediately wifi is working. Oh my god, could you please Apple build your bloody expensive computers better, so that we wouldn't have to use FOLIO. I hope this would help someone else too.

Hi all,

It seems I have the same issue, but just wanna be sure before spending money.

* I just receive a Samsung Led HDMI (SD330)

* I bought this adaptator => USB 3.1 Type-C Adaptateur HDMI 4K, BACAKSY USB-C numérique AV adaptateur multiport pour Apple Macbook Chromebook Pixel D….

* I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports).

When I plug-> no wifi or come and back, not stable. When I unplug the adaptator. everything is fine.

And seems as I read, I have to change the hdmi adaptator (the USB 3.1 type-C....) ?? is that correct (20 euros trash... sniff).

Do you have an advice of a good one ?

thanks

If your adapter isn't a direct adapter, i mean it has a cable between the USB-A and the USB-C connector, this method could work: How to FIX USB-C/Wi Fi problems - 2016 MacBook Pro - YouTube Just try out. Good luck!

Hi Honken,

This kind of things might happens when you are using an adaptor, or dongle, or any kind of peripheral that are not Compatible for Mac. or simply you get a defected adapter.

first thing that you should do, back to the seller, and ask to try with any demo model there. If the problem occurs, then the adapter is faulty, otherwise it's just not compatible with Mac.

You can try these steps OS X Yosemite: Choose preferred wireless networks

Anything you can reproduce, the guys at the Genius Bar can fix.

Make an appointment and show it to them. At an Apple-owned store, your appointment is free.

I have this problem too!!

This is my first MB and I promise to myself it's last one!

😠

I have the same problem... we can't just blame the usb-c hub.... I dont think all the hub is having problem...
suggest Apple to look into the issue seriously and fix it.

In my case, it is actually the fact of having the Power Cable connected to the Adapter. You can keep the adapter on the "wifi" side, as long as you connect the power on the other side.

How did you decide to try that hack? If you saw it somewhere, can you post a link to a further discussion of any issues?

what do you think it might be doing to fix the problem?

Thaaaaanks goood I thought i was the only one, same here even on the MBP 2017

Apple's software is incredibly bad. This company has turned into crap! Get this fixed before a 25+year customer finally decides to jump ship from this crud.
