I am running Big Sur on a MacBook Pro 15" with retina. As of recently (about a month or so), internet drops several times a day. Wifi icon is still on, but I can't connect to anything. It is not the router, since all other devices work fine. It never recovers on its own, so I have to toggle wifi off and back on, and the connection is back immediately.

I have tried deleting wifi in System Preferences, and creating it again, resetting SMC, and obviously resetting the Mac itself...and nothing helps.

I have upgraded from Mojave to Big Sur several months ago, but the problem only started showing up recently. Never had that problem with Mojave, and I ran it for a few years.

Has anyone else experienced this?
