Intel MacBook Pro Wi-Fi unstable after macOS update
Hi everyone,
Since updating my MacBook Pro to macOS Tahoe, my system has become noticeably slower, and I have experienced several glitches. The most persistent issue appeared after updating to macOS 26.2: my Wi-Fi connection now disconnects intermittently and unpredictably.
I am using an Intel-based MacBook Pro with a 2.6 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7 and 16 GB of RAM.
So far, I have tried the following without success:
- Restarting both the modem/router and the MacBook
- Forgetting and re-adding the Wi-Fi network
- Renewing the DHCP lease
- Standard network troubleshooting steps recommended online
The problem persists across restarts and does not seem to be router-specific.
Has anyone with an Intel Mac experienced similar Wi-Fi issues after the macOS Tahoe or 26.2 update? Any knows how to resolve this issue?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.2
