Wifi keeps dropping since update to MacOS Sequoia 15.2

Ever since I updated to Sequoia 15.2 Wifi keeps dropping.

I have a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, 14-inch, 2021.

I tried amongst others:

  • disabling VPN
  • disabling Dropbox
  • change Private Wi-Fi address to fixed
  • change Private Wi-Fi address to off
  • disabling firewall

It is driving me bonkers.

None of my other devices have this problem (iPhone 12 Pro iOS 18.2, MacBook Air M1 Sequioa 15.0.1)

Any knows what causes this and how to fix it?


(BTW: I appreciate helpful comments that are on topic, not comments on why one should use a VPN or not, or which cloud based storage is better. Thank you)

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2

With that may restricted placed upon potential replies.


To skip the Q&A session, just download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer. 


It’s a diagnostic tool that doesn’t change your computer at all. It gives you a clear and easy-to-read list of both your hardware and software


You can get it for free or pay for extra features. And don’t worry, the report won’t reveal any personal information. 


Once you’re done, just copy and paste the full report using the Additional Text Icon.

Most commonly, something is installed that causes these things after an OS upgrade. Something installed that might work with 15.0.1 but not so well with 15.2.


There are many posts here from VPN users who eventually traced problems LIKE yours to their VPN, or its configuration, or it being not fully compatible with 15.2, and so forth.


But since you indicated you don't want to explore such VPN possibilities (not "helpful" or "on topic") I'll leave it at that.


However I do second PRP's suggestion about Etrecheck as that will show what is installed, users may know that one or the other does not work well with 15.2, for instance. If your other laptop running 15.0.1 is configured much the same as the laptop that is having problems, that almost certainly points to something installed that is not fully compatible with 15.2.
