Wifi connection constantly dropped on 2019 Macbook Pro

I purchased the newest 2019 13" Macbook Pro four days ago and since then the connection reliability to my wifi network has been abysmal. It lasts for about two minutes and then resets itself. Sometimes it reconnects automatically, but mostly it's up to me to manually connect to the network again and again and again. The wifi network itself is fine. I have an iPhone 8 and a 2017 Macbook Air running Mojave, and they do not encounter this problem at all, so this is clearly an issue specific to the Macbook Pro.


I've already tried resetting NVRAM and SMC to no effect.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

I talked to Apple Support. The solutions was to go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration in Finder and delete preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist. I'm not sure what these file do, but deleting them fixed the issue.
