My WiFi has disconnected several times this morning seemingly out of nowhere.

I removed my Ethernet cable for today to test it, because two people here seem to have that problem. I sometimes had a lost connection too with Ethernet, but very rarely and I think it's the VPN in my Router.

This little app shows when you are offline. Sometimes it is so short you didn't realize it. You could use it to see if it is happening even more often.

Edit: Sorry I thought it is for free like many apps there. But has a 5.0 rating.

I just got this, but I am getting this too sometimes with Ethernet too.

I just found out it isn't compatible because "limit IP address tracking" was turned off. But it was on before and turned off by itself. Now everything is normal again.

Until now no connection loss.

I just tried it in both views, because I normally use the one with a seperate Tab Bar. There is no problem pulling the tab back into the window. I did exactly what's in the video, I think...

And this only happens when you drag it to the left side and this tlle frame appears before?

Maybe it is fixed it Safari 18.3 or it's another setting producing it.

You could also try if it is happening too with Safari Technology Preview, it's the same 18.2 version but a newer build.

The stand-alone betas for Safari 18.3 are only available for Ventura and Sonoma.

I’ll wait until tomorrow public release and check

There could be an RC2 again if there are too many problems. Or is it official?

For the past three days, on startup in the morning, my dock doesn't show. On restart, the dock appears❓ Also, after any restart, I get the message, "File Not Found."

I've been having that problem for awhile now. I know it's not my wifi, modem or the cable because the TV about three from my iMac works fine.

I've been having that problem for awhile now. I know it's not my wifi, modem or the cable because the TV about three from my iMac works fine.

I see no difference in using WiFi or Ethernet. Maybe the WiFi connection problems depend on the chips in the Router and Apple's drivers.

Both have the same problems for me. Sometimes Private Relay is supported and sometimes not. Then Safari is not working and I have to use Firefox what I do for most things anyway. Or I have to deactivate it completely.

But that's not new and it's only on my M4 Pro Mini not on the M3 iMac, what is very strange. I thought the 10Gbps port was the problem, because it's the only difference. But now I know it's the same with WiFi.

I think it started already with Beta 1 of 15.3.

There was just a short disconnection, but I am connected by Ethernet again. And it caused Private Relay and Safari working again.

When waking up from sleep a few hours ago. There were error messages like "couldn't connect to server" or "couldn't start server".

Both Macs were Servers for each other to copy data. How can I disable this again if only one is in use and connected? But it's strange that this is coming weeks after removing the iMac.
