2018 MacBook Pro randomly losing WiFi connection

Just followed these instructions to see if they work. It has been terrible having to turn my wifi off and on every 15-20 minutes because the connection speed degrades. I'll come back and update if anything changes.

Well, the previous listed solutions have not worked for me so far. I will try the deletion of all saved wifi connections except the one I use at home and see if the issue resolves.

Just to be clear of how my issue is presenting itself. I am connected to my home wifi and even though I still show a full wifi connection, my internet speed drops to nothing. My browser tells me I am not connected to the internet and the solution is to turn off my wifi adapter and then back on to restore the connection. I have no external devices or accessories connected. All my other wifi devices are connected and browsing with no issues while my MacBook Pro can not browse.

Will update once I test the latest offered solution of deleting all saved wifi connections.

Well I'm back...

Issue is still not resolved. I have tried everything I can think of and every solution offered but the issue persists causing me to think this is a hardware issue.

I have disconnected all external devices. Installed and ran Malwarebytes. Removed all wifi connections and added only my home back. Nothing has worked.

I thought the issue was gone because I was good for a few days but it is back. I am going to try turning off my bluetooth next and see if maybe there is an interference issue there. I'll report back once I see the results.

Randomly wifi dropping in this new Mac book pro 2018 is much frequently happening. It become very much hectic and tedious to work online with no wifi connectivity. Apple tech team should proceed to take actions on this frequent happening issue. Else newer macbook pro not the worth device to be bought .

If anybody has solution, let everyone know and resolve this bad issue.

Man, it's been forever since I messed with sysctl, but what values do they both have for...

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.newreno=1

sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.always_keepalive=1

Well, you know what I mean!

Same problem with unit, Mojave 10.14.2. Have attempted most suggestions but do not want to attempt testesaasas suggestion. Would an Apple service person be able to remedy this at the large outlets? Does Apple have any positive solutions?

sorry I can't add anything useful to this discussion except to confirm I am another new MacBook 13" user having the same problem. Mostly happens when connected to an external monitor. I've also noted that when certain activities use my wifi connection lit locks other apps on my MacBook out of the network connection!

This has started happening on my MBP 13 2108. Was fine for last 4 months and since a week or so ago the WiFi drops, if I'm lucky it reconnects if not then only a reboot fixes the issue, albeit so far only until next time. Along with the T2 Bridge OS issue which has plagued me since day 1 this is by far the worst Apple product I have owned.

Unreliable and incredibly frustrating to use.

Because I live on a tiny little rock I am stuffed in regards getting it replaced easily.

Very unhappy former Apple fan boy.

The fact that Apple is sloppy with some obscure utilities and isn’t updating them for newer macOS releases is a known fact and is annoying. However, the issue at hand is the problems with Wi-Fi network connectivity and not the erroneous output in the Network Utility.

By the way, the network utility with the 2018 MacBook Pros / Air is useless. It’s not reporting the correct information. Maybe Apple will fix it at one point, but I doubt it. They are busy coming out with the new emojis.

Hi there, just a quick update from me. After checking everything out, without Apple Support, I had to open a support ticket. Those WiFi-issues are kinda frustrating. But what's more frustrating ist, that they told me (at least the german support) that they don't have any information about WiFi-Problems in general with Mojave or the MacBook Pro 2018. So we're just "individual cases" 😕.

Hi testesaasas, thanks for your respond. I'm not sure why I should try a ping when I see that the WiFi connection is actually down (WiFi Symbol was grey, had to reconnect manually). It's kind of trying to make a call while the phone isn't plugged in.

No problem ^^. The macOS WiFi-Diagnose is already up and running all the time and get's me informed if the connection got lost. I collect the data after that and in addition with a capture data tool from Apple Support, too to provide them the data.

So, do you lose the Wi-Fi association (physical disconnect from Wi-Fi) or does Wi-Fi stay connected when network connectivity is lost?

If you experience it with the Time Capsule (2013?), you should keep pressure on Apple. In my case, they can blame Ubiquiti. In your case, they have to figure out the solution, as both devices are theirs.

It's a TimeCapsule from 2010, actually ^^. I lose the Wi-Fi association. Sometimes the symbol stays grey and I have to manually reconnect, sometimes it reconnects after a few seconds. Here's a screenshot of a day with massive connection losts. The second outage from the right was just hibernation.

Of course the could blame my old TimeCapsule. Apple Support already tried ^^. But I have losses on three different AP/Routers and the MacBook Pro 2018 is the only one from 7 Wi-Fi-Clients with connectivity issues on my network. So I'm pretty sure it's something with the MBPro 2018 Wi-Fi chip and Mojave.
