I am getting to the end of my tether before I start throwing things.
I have had my macbook pro (2016) and has been working seamlessly as usual. Run the latest os etc but what has been happening as of yesterday that if it is over 2 meters from the router or extender it drops the wifi connection and does the usual trying to connect on the icon on the taskbar with an arrow next to the connected network with disconnect option or the pppoe (greyed out) option. No idea why it has started all of the sudden to do this as I have not touched the router, extenders or done any updates.
I have yet to go to a cafe or some different network to see if I get the same issues but has anyone else had the same problem?
 
Does any other device exhibit this issue? If so, investigate your network. If not, I'd call Apple support, as it could be a hardware issue.
