7/2/2023 0 Comments Little snitch mac m1Note how the 2015 MacBook Pro and the iPhone X is 802.11ac and so is the Adtran router. Here are the devices you are using and their Wi-Fi specs. AWDL is what is used for AirDrop, AirPlay, Handoff and other “magic” connectivity services and such. It seems like the “solution” is to either connect to the router only via 2.4Ghz or disabled AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) on the problematic device. It seems there might be an issue related to 5Ghz connections related to AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) stuff on the system. I believe the issue is related to similar issues being reported about Mac mini M2 Wi-Fi issues in the Apple Community discussion forums. Update: ran pings over wifi hotspot (iphone) for ~9 hours over night, could not reproduce the issue there. If this is your Wi-Fi network, try restarting the modem and router, or contact your ISP." Update: PS when I click on the WiFi 'pie' with the exclamation point I can expand the error message and it says "No Internet Connection – Your Mac successfully joined the Wi-Fi network, but cannot reach the internet. I'd be tempted to conclude that something is wrong with my wifi network but again it works fine for my other devices so I'm left where I started. Also, when I tried the laptop on a different wifi network, I was unable to reproduce the issue, too. I cannot reproduce the issue when I use my phone as a hotspot. I have followed some of the steps here and here, including deleting the network preference files and disabling airdrop, forgetting and re-adding the wifi network, restarting my computer, restarting the router, using 2.4 ghz instead of 5, safe mode, etc. Thinking that might have messed with things, I then factory-reset the machine, but the issue persists. When I first set up the computer I installed a VPN and Little Snitch before connecting to WiFi for the first time. But then I don't understand why more of my devices don't have a problem with it. While I'm no networking expert, there's a lot of crowding of SSIDs nearby and I've read that that can be a problem. The router being used is an Adtran C424G. I have my iPhone X (iOS 16.3) and my previous laptop (2015 MacBook Pro 15 inch running Monterey 12.6.2) working fine on the same network. Either way it usually reconnects within around 10-20 seconds. The issue manifests in one of two ways: either there's an exclamation point on top of the WiFi 'pie' in the menu bar, or there's no indication at all but sites don't load. It intermittently disconnects from the internet. Bought a brand-new 2023 MacBook Pro 14 inch running Ventura 13.2 (updated from 13).
