Wifi Instability Issue: BigSur 11.7.9

Hi, I own a Macbook Pro 2014. Post updating my device to BigSur 11.7.9 recently my WiFi is unstable (disconnects after a period of time). I did not have this issue with earlier versions of BigSur. Reboot helps temporarily. Thank you!

Windows, Windows 6

Re: Wifi Instability Issue: BigSur 11.7.9


Troubleshooting :

Apple support has some tips about connecting (and using diagnostic tools) that you may want to try:

What to do: If your Mac isn't connecting to the internet over Wi-Fi - Apple Support


Eg: Make sure that the date and time are set correctly on your Mac.


Also: Learn about network issues related to VPN and other software


Try turning off any third-party (non-Apple) software, (and / or check for updates for necessary software):

(unnecessary add-blockers, virus-checkers or the like, even VPN can cause interference).

If needed: you might want to check with your ISP about interruptions to supply / service / and to make sure everything is working properly.
