My brand new M2 Pro Mac Mini will not stay connected to WiFi. All other devices I own on my network have no problems (Apple and non-Apple alike — I’m typing this on my iPad Pro, e.g.).
I have restarted the Mini, the router, the modem, reset the modem, checked the network diagnostics, etc.
I have seen articles that this is an issue, but that it was supposed fixed in MacOS update 13.1. This machine is on 13.2
Advice?
Poorly shielded high speed USB cables, USB devices and Display cables, that are near or in between can cause interference.

If that doesn't’ help, then your best bet is to contact Apple Support.
Just got off the phone with them. They can't figure it out either. Guess it's Genius Bar time. Ugh.
Unless anyone else has a suggestion? Anyone else know of third party apps or background processes that would affect a Mac Mini in this way?
Interesting. However, my M1 Mac Mini was in precisely the same location, near the same devices, and the same cables and never had this problem.
In that case, you should contact Apple Support ASAP.
Make sure that you have a good Time Machine or other backup on an external drive before you take it in.
Did you ever find a resolution?
No, not yet. Still trying to figure out the issue.
