Hoping somebody has a solution to this.

I’m struggling to download large files on my new 13” m1 mbp.

I’m trying to download Xcode from both the App Store, and from the developer site with safari.

Every time my internet connection drops on the Mac but the wifi Stays connected. it only does this when downloading large files.

When this happens only the mbp loses its internet connection, tv, iPad, phone, other computers etc all continue to work normally.

To get the internet running again I have to disconnect and reconnect from my WiFi on the Mac. But the download won’t resume.

Any ideas on things to try in order to resolve this?

Im on a gigabit fibre connection, using AC WiFi connection. Issues are limited to be MacBook Pro only.
