Updated to Mavericks - Now dropping WiFi connections like crazy

The title says it all. On an early 2013 MacBook Pro retina. Running perfect until the day I upgraded to Mavericks. Now my WiFi drops anywhere from once an hour to every 5 minutes, and also has trouble reconnecting after waking up from sleep. I've tried the various fixes mentioned on the forums and collected here, but nothing has worked yet.
To be clear, I have many devices/computers in the house, and only one of them has trouble wiht WiFi, the one I upgraded to Mavericks, and it started the day I upgraded it to Mavericks.
There seem to be a lot of other sufferers. Any good solutions?

Words cannot describe how angry this problem makes me. How can world's largest tech company not been able to fix their biggest bug for this many months now?!?!
All these forums are overflowing with the same **** problem: WIFI DOESN'T CONNECT AFTER COMING BACK FROM SLEEP ON MAVERICKS.
How many thousands of people have to post the same godddamn problem for how long?
And no, disconnecting Bluetooth doesn't help (even if it did, its not an acceptable solution). I took my MacBook Air to Apple store twice already and they cannot help either.
aaaAAAAaAaaAAaaarrrrghhh, I'm going to go insane from this problem.
I miss Steve.. he wouldn't let something like this go on for this long. Can a half a trillion dollar company pay attention to its own support forums or at least google "wifi-not-connecting-after-sleep-mavericks" and realize what incompetent company you have become?!

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • My i Phone drops WiFi connection after just a few minutes and wont reconnect unless I reset the network settings and reboot the  phone?

    My i Phone 4s has suddenly started to drop wifi connection after nealy months of near perfect connections?
    To restore a wifi connection I have to reset the network settings and restart the phone, this only fixes the issues for around 2-3 mins?
    Other quick fixes like switching wifi on and off/ switching to airoplane mode for a few secconds have no impact.
    This is really annoying as I am using my data allowence very quickly, and as the phone is continually searching for a wifi connection the battery time has reduced dramatically.
    I just wondered if any one else has the same issue, and any suggestions as to how I can fix this.
    Thanks in Advance

    Reboot.
    Restore (from backup)
    Restore (as new)
    Test after each step. If one of them doesn't fix the problem, make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • Updated to Mavericks now my Toshiba External HDD 3.0 won't mount need help what to do

    I recently updated to mavericks now my toshiba external hard drive wont connect and i have some important data need help to get drivers im assuming its the drivers but need help to locate the drivers

    haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

  • IPad randomly dropping wifi connection

    I have seen quite a few posts regarding iPad dropping wifi connection. I have tried all the usual reboot router, updates, etc but the issue remains.
    I need to keep switching wifi off then on again to re connect?
    Does anyone have any better ideas than waiting for a bug fix?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I have not had this issue outside of my home wifi so I suppose this points to a router issue.
    When I read that others have had the same issue I presumed it was a bug.
    "Updates" does mean router firmware updates.
    I am using WPA2-PSK security but have tried WEP and WPA-PSK setting with the same result.
    The router is a Netgear RangeMax model DG834PN
    It is in g&b mode( whatever that means)
    I appreciate your comments.

  • ISA550W dropping wifi connection

    Just wondering if anyone else has seen the IAS 550W dropping WiFi Connection
    I have 2 SSID's on two differnet Vlans so they are seperated.
    I have several users purly using WIFi connection and every now and then teh connection dropps out and then reconnects with in 20 -30 secs.
    Havent been able to figure out whay the connection dropps in first place
    As i have several Ap connection s avaiable on my machine i keep connecting to wrong network when my main connection dropps off.
    Any on e any ideas?
    Thanks
    Nick

    For testing purposes can you set a static channel on your ISA. This channel would have to be one that does not overlap with any of the other AP's channels. If your enviromental noise level is high then i wouldnt recommend keeping a static channel.
    Hope this help with your troubleshooting

  • Why does my iPhone 6 keep on  dropping  wifi connection

    after I used my iPhone 6 for a 2 weeks it started to drop wifi connection so I restored it and it worked for 1 month then it started to drop wifi connection again and restoring it dosen't solve the problem anymore and I updated it to 8.1.3

    I have tried resetting everything and it makes no difference. Problem is same in different locations. Apple store verified problem which is why they exchanged phone for new model but wifi is still poor and drops frequently even though the iPhone 3GS in the family work perfectly on same access points.

  • IPad Air after upgrade to ios 8 continue to drop WiFi connection

    On September 19, I upgrade my ipad air to ios 8, and it had been dropping Wifi connection ever since.  I was browsing using Chrome and next thing the browser hang up; then error message informed me to no network connection.  By the way, my network was strong (5 bars), because I was streaming to my Roku in HD without any issues.  At the same time, my Airplay do not want to stream the content in full screen either. It only mirror what have see on my ipad, not allow me to go full screen on TV.  I hoped Apple will step up and correct this issue as soon as possible; I miss the good old day of reliable upgrade from Apple.

    Yes, and hopeful 8.1.1 will help.  It's supposedly in beta testing.

  • My mac mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity

    Hi Folks,
          My new Mini keeps dropping wifi connectivity so I lose the connection to Apple TV and even just browsing on Safari seems painful hoping a page will load before losing connectivity. I reset my router, restart the mini and it intermittently keeps happening. Has anyone come up with a workable solution?
    Thanks

  • Updated to mavericks, now windows 7 partition freezes on boot

    i have a late 2012 macbook pro, just updated to mavericks, now w7 64bit boot freezes on grey load screen.  tried SMC/PR resets, just got off the phone with support and they don't have a clue on what to do to resolve the issue other than a reinstall (if my only option is reinstall I might abandon bootcamp and try another option).  any advice?

    Hello,
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.
