Mac loses internet connection after Sleep Any time my Mac sleeps for more than about an hour or two, it loses internet connection. It remains connected to the Wifi network, but the internet doesn't work, even after turning off and on the wifi and disconnecting and reconnecting to the network. Even if I select a different Wifi network, the internet still doesn't work. Reboot helps to fix it, but I essentially don't have Sleep Mode since I can't sleep for more than a couple of hours without losing internet. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. My Mac is a 2019 MacBook Pro 16" Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB Memory: 16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 OS: Ventura 13.5

Mac mini M4 drops WiFi connection over night I can actively use the Mac during the day without any internet or WiFi issues. But then the next day I see the WiFi is disconnected and I can't connect to any known network that I was connected the day before. The only solution is to restart the Mac. After that the network is picked up automatically.
