I don't know about anyone else, but my 2011 MBP high-end 15" is constantly losing wi-fi connection every 2-3 minutes. It happened on an Upgrade install, now it's happening on a fresh install.

Any suggestions?

I had that last night as well (Early 2011 MBP 17), thought it was the storms coming in affecting the cable modem. I have to do more testing to verify though

Has anything changed since it was last working correctly? Any new equiptment on the network? Anything moved physically?

Try changing the Wifi channel of your router, or setting to a lower GHz frequency.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion that's it. Looking at the post below before changing any settings.


Goto this thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1410516/

In there I made some posts that ultimately resolved my issue. Go to the end of the thread where I talk about Keychain, skip the IPV6 stuff.

Hope this helps!

Will do thanks!
