Internet Dropping out constantly on Macbook.

Hello, 

 

I'm experience random requent drop outs on my Macbook Pro requiring me to re-connect the internet. 

This is happening about once every 5 minutes and has been happening for the last week. I'm streaming videos, building websites, updating programmes etc - I'm a website developer so it's crucial I get this sorted!

 

We've only had the internet here for about 3 weeks as I've just moved in. 

 

I'm also seeing random drop outs when playing on my xbox online during live games - it's just a quick burst of bad internet and then everything is fine again. 

 

Every other device (wifes laptop, phones, google hubs) are completely fine.

Is the Macbook connected using the same method as the other devices that are not experiencing issues?

Have you tried using the Macbook in the same location as the other devices to see if the connection drops there as well?

This is happening to me too.  It's really frustrating, and making working from home almost impossible.

Re: Internet Dropping out constantly on Macbook.

Thanks for your replies,

 

The Macbook is basically a couple of meters away from the router in the same room. 

 

Ive done nothing different with the macbook in terms of hooking it up to the wifi - juat the standard method of hooking up the wifi. 

 

Never had an issue in the past with dropouts on other WIFI connections.
