Ever since upgrading to Mac OS 26 (and 26.1), I have been getting random wi-fi drops and even lower level of connectivity (two arcs in the wi-fi icon instead of the usual three). A quick search revealed that others have had his problem as well. I did find some rather technical solutions involving use of Terminal to basically erase and reconfigure. Before I head down that path, checking to see if 1) others on this site have had similar experiences, and 2) if so, what "solutions" worked or didn't work.

Thanks in advance for any input and insights

I suppose it would help if you state what router and what computer you have.
For me, my M1Max Studio is on WiFi for 3 years now and I have not noticed any difference, on the latest Tahoe.
 
Good point - Been using EERO wi-fi without problems for several years. Current Mac is MacBook Pro w M3 chip
