It works better on certain networks than others but it's always intermittent.

WiFi will randomly disconnect when I run Windows 10. I have a MacBook Pro, purchased late 2017. Question : how do I fix it so I have a reliable consistent wifi connection when I use Windows 10?

WiFi is consistently dropping at random times regardless of network. However, connection is seamless when streaming and browsing, with no connection drops or lags.Ĭard Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x173)įirmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (7.21.171.130.1a1) Update- Mac OS is also exhibiting ping lag and Request Timeouts. Question- Is there a way to diagnose the cause of these spike in ping lag? My guess is that there may be some cache or registry where information begins to build up and causes it to slow down. Again, I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason as to what's causing this variability in connection. Sometimes it's consistently <1ms, majority of the time its between 1-5ms, with 20ms hiccups and random Request Timeouts, then sometimes it there are lags of 200ms to 3,000ms pings with extended time outs At which point I delete the Networ Adapter driver, and reinstall. I can't find any correlation between toggling options, and ping time. I've been pinging my router consistently since yesterday. Although, somehow the device still got turned off. New information- Something that seems to have helped, but did not fix the problem was unchecking 'Allow computer to turn off this device to save power'. I already submitted this question in the Apple StackExchange, but after some research it's leading me to believe this is a Windows 10 problem:Īttempted solutions- I tried the methods suggested in these webpages (and many more): I happens on every wireless network I use. Let's see how it goes.īackground- Network works fine, router works fine, connections is perfect when running Mac OS. Update (): There was a new driver released on for Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter, version 7.35.118.83, but the Apple update is only now pushing it.
