Wifi keeps disconnecting on my Macbook Pro.

Macbook Pro (Mid-2012) Which I purchased 4 months ago.
It keeps dropping the signal about every 5 minutes, only on my home network. It's only this device too, since my phone and all of my roomates' devices are unphased. (streaming videos like it's no big deal)
This started happening after we lost connectivity with the snow a few days ago here in Seattle. I have tried all sort of toubleshooting, including the DNS thingy and restarting the router.
It does not have this problem when I am at work, school, or elsewhere.
I appreciate anyone who takes the time to assist!
Best,
Rachel

A great deal more information is available by holding the Option key while clicking on the Wi-Fi Icon on the MenuBar:
What do you get for PHY mode?
What Channel?
What RSSI?
What Transmit Rate?
And, How many other Networks do you see?

  • Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite

    Wifi keeps dropping out on MacBook Pro after installing Yosemite. This is not good.  Apparently, a lot of people are having this issue with Yosemite.  Any suggestions for my MacBook Pro?  It's bad enough that Yosemite looks so boring, but to have a major issue like constantly disconnecting from wifi is deplorable.
    I plan to keep Mavericks on my iMac until this issue is resolved.

  • Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2.

    Wifi randomly disconnects from my macbook pro running 10.9.2.  Rebooting is necessary to regain the wifi connection.  The wifi power indicator indicates a full connection, but the card sees no wifi networks. I have renamed the location, deleted and reinstalled the wifi interface, moved the wifi inerface to the top, and reset the DNS.  This problem is continual and occurs with all wifi spots.   Please help.

    It seems that the wifi on the computer shuts off and will not turn on until the computer has been rebooted.  Can someone poease help?

  • Messages and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro.

    iMessage and FaceTime keep disconnecting from my MacBook Pro. I’ve never turned either of them off on my computer, but every time I turn them back on, they work for about a week, and then I start getting messages and phone calls on my iPhone and iPad but not on my MacBook. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I'll ask the hosts to move this post to Yosemite.

  • Why does the wifi keep disconnecting on the Macbook Air (Bought September 2013) ?

    Is this only my MacBook Air, or is it with everyones. The wifi keeps getting disconnected and i would have to switch off and then switch on the wifi in order to reconnect.

    Hi Ettedos,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're seeing unexpected behavior on your MacBook Air.
    I'd recommend starting with the Wireless Diagnostic built into Mavericks:
    OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 or later
    Use the Wireless Diagnostics application included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later to identify and resolve Wi-Fi issues. For further information, please see About Wireless Diagnostics.

  • WiFi keeps disconnecting in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on Macbook Pro

    I have an early i7 2011 Macbook Pro. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 my WiFi keeps disconnecting. There isn't a certain time it disconnects - sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes for just 10 minutes. When the connection is lost, it shows that its connected in the taskbar at the top, however when going into network preferences it shows the WiFi as turned off. In order to turn it back on I need to restart the Mac.
    I have tried the following:
    reset SMC
    delete network preferences
    create new network connection
    add DNS servers
    Add manual MTU
    Require password to turn on/off WiFi / change network (still disconnects!)
    Change order of preferred networks
    I phoned Apple Care who told me to delete the network preferences, this worked for about 5 mins and then the problem returned!
    I cannot change the router settings as I connect to my employers network. All other employees using Window machines are working fine and my iPhone connects perfectly fine also.
    Somebody please help me! I feel my only option now would to do a clean install - not ideal! Apple, please HELP.
    Merry Christmas everyone.

    Hi - I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2010 which drops the wifi connection randomly (not necessarily when I move it or the lid - see other posts on this) and then often ends up freezing when I try to investigate.
    I installed Mavericks to see if that would resolve the issue but it doesn't.
    Somebody in one of these posts suggested it might be a faulty connection between airport card and mother board... which I suppose could be caused by a jolt to the machine (mine travels as hand luggage on planes every now and then).
    I am running OS X 10.9 on a 13 inch Mid 2010 MBP with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB 1067MHz DDR3 memory.
    If anyone comes up with an answer to this PLEASE post it here so that we can all resolve our wifi dropping/freezing issues!
    Thanks

    I have a license for CS6 on my MacBook Pro.  I want to purchase an iMAC and be able to do my heavy duty Photoshop processing on this new iMAC when I am at home  I need to keep CS6 on my MacBook Pro and use it when I travel.  How can I have copies of CS6 on both machines.  I am the only user of this software.

    You can install and activate CS6 on both machines perfectly legally.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my macbook Pro.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my Macbook Pro.  I have turned off Bluetooth ( which was not an issue previously), uninstalled Chrome, again not an issue before I upgraded, and have not seen any improvement.
    I was using an older OS system (Snow Leopard) on my 2010 Macbook Pro.  I am wondering now if the upgrade was an unwise move?

    jbuckworth,
    which apps do you run under battery power? Are any of them identified as “apps using significant energy” when you click on the battery icon in the menu bar? If you have a 15-inch or 17-inch model, are your apps using the discrete GPU (which consumes more power than the integrated GPU)?
    How many charge cycles has your battery accumulated?
    How long have you had Mavericks installed? Is Spotlight still reïndexing your boot drive? (It does that whenever your OS is upgraded, because so many files change in an OS upgrade.)

  • TS1398 Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I kkep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Hi. My wifi keeps disconnecting. I keep turning the wifi on and off in settings but will disconnect again after a minute or so. I use an ipad2 and my ios is updated. How to troubleshoot? - kay peralta

    Is this happening with one particular network or with all?  Make sure iOS is updated on the device.
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?

    Why does my Adobe Audition keep crashing on my MacBook Pro?  I've updated everything, and there are no other issues.  It is OS X and Audition CS6.  When I'm mixing a track, it will just shut down with a crash notice.  Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    What is the crash notice you receive?  OS X is very good about keeping extensive, detailed crash logs.  If you launch Applications > Utilities > Console.app  and open the "User Diagnostic Reports" group on the left, can you drag the most recent Audition crash report into an e-mail to [email protected] ?  The contents of that file should make it more clear to us why Audiiton or the OS thinks a crash is happening and will help focus troubleshooting.

  • Why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

    why does my 4s with ios7 wifi keep disconnecting/reconnecting?

    Same problem here. It just keeps connecting/disconnecting indefinitely. This does not started immediately after IO7 upgrade and it does not happen all the time. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Very frustrating. So far no solution found.

  • Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

    I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

    I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
    So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.
