couple of unusual happenings since Catalina upgrade

Keep losing my wifi connection on Mac mini. It returns after a minute or so. My iPhone and iPad don't lose connection.

I am asked for my Google password for access to my gmail, over and over again.


Mac mini, macOS 10.15

The Gmail issue: Delete and re-add your Gmail account. That has solved it for me in the past. I hope it does for you.


WiFi? It may be coincidence with another WiFi setup nearby using the same channel you communicate on and interfering? Consider logging in to your router and opting for a different channel.

Regarding the wifi issue. Your response is a very real possibility, however, if this is the case (channel interference) wouldn't I have had the same issue with High Sierra? This has only occurred since the Catalina upgrade.

I always look for the simplest answer first, and playing with a router channel is far simpler than delving into the innards of the Mac
