Both M1 M2 14 inch MacBookPro wifi disconnect randomly
Me and my wife both having the same issue, I am using M1 14 inch she is using M2 14 inch.
Her system is 14 Sonoma and Mine is 13.6
Router is Asus AX88U and netgear WAX202, tried both, and both have same issue.
All system setting is default. I am IT professional, tried basic and normal debugging and try and error. So please do not suggest simple solution such as did you try restart.....
Issue is WIFI randomly drop. at first would be one of the mac not working, then we come together test the other mac. shortly both mac not able to connect to wifi.
Sometime the issue is wifi auto disconnect. Sometime is wifi with a big exclamatory mark.
What will work is restart Router, or turn wifi off and on again. but sometime toggle wifi will still not working.
This issue does not happen every day, but will happen once per month during the ownership.
But meanwhile other device work no issue.
Network is fibre come to Asus AX88U then use a netgear switch connect to other room and using WAX 202 as a second AP to boost the coverage. Both same network name, same passwrod. 80 width, wifi 6
This is what I tried:
1 I try to set channel to be 44 and 149. (after reading meter and UCLA's article) also tried other channel such as leave it auto. Same result. All the other neighbors are not using the same channel, there is no interference. Plus their signal are weaker at our home.
2 Try turn off AirDrop and Bluetooth. not improve either.
3 Turn off target wake time on router. Not improve too.
4 Turn off 2.4G Hz, using only 5G Hz, Not working too.
5 Reset settings on Mac network end. Not working too.
6 Set router a schedule reboot. Still drop wifi randomly.
I think has something to do with AWDL. but I could be wrong.
