2023 Macbook Pro 16" Dropping Wifi
This has been the cycle since i got this thing.
Connect to wifi, a few weeks go by, wifi drops,
connection attempt times out and request password for wifi, (even though the network is saved) and is unable to connect from same location within the house.
Move into Hallway from bedroom closer to wifi,
able to connect without requesting a password
A few weeks go by
Connection drops
repeat.
The weird thing is once its connected again i can disconnect and reconnect to wifi without a problem, in the same spot that just a few moments ago was unable to connecting and timed out, before taking the macbook out into the hallway.
It's like it looses the ability to connect, but when i move it closer it connects and then is fine again disconnecting and reconnecting to wifi in the exact same spot where it wouldnt connect before . . .
I have an imac 2015 2 feet away from where i keep the macbook, and it never has had this issue. phone connects to wifi while on table right next to macbook pro.
Took it into genius bar, ran diagnostics, said hardware is fine,
suggested updated software, but I've done that and the problem persists.
They suggested that I back up my macbook and do a full system reset, something they do in house that wipes everything and resets it in a way thats different from a factory reset from home.
They also suggested contacting the internet provider but its clearly only this macbook having the issue, as my imac never looses connection and my phone connects to the wifi perfectly fine even when the macbook times out and asks for a password.
also tried renewing dns lease.
Any ideas??
