I got a popup that there was anew software update available yesterday (13.6.1), so I updated my MacBook 12" (from 13.5.1) and ever since I lose wifi connection and can't rejoin unless I restart the computer. Wifi will work ok for a while , but it seems like it drops after a few hours. I 'can't figure out the exact timing, but it does seem like it happens when I wake it from sleep. It's defiinitely working while it's sleeping as I used it last night, then woke up this morning and had a bunch of emails from early morning, but when I woke it, the wifi wasn't connected to any network & when I select one (hotspot or actual wifi network) I get a message that it can't join the network. This happens on every single wifi & hotspot that I try.

Any ideas what might be going on?
Thanks in advance.

I noticed I lost some too after the update, not completely though
What it resolved it for me, it was to restart my modem beside computer: now I have full bars in the WIFI menu
What is back though is the issue where I click on alerts to move from one screen to another and it doesn't work.
