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
