Macbook pro wifi problem

[retired_member36]

Hi

Ive recently got a macbook pro and it keeps dropping its wifi connection, however this only happens when other computers / gaming consoles are connected to the wifi. Ive disconnected everything apart from the macbook and re enabled them one by one, and no matter what i connect it keeps dropping the wifi then reconnects shortly after (but keeps doing this). The only thing thats not interfering with it is the iphone..Any advice

I know very little about Macs so can't suggest any fixes with the computer. You could maybe try chaining your WiFi frequency on the router though see if that helps

No problem It seemed to solve a wifi problem I was experiencing with my MacBook Pro very recently.

I had terrible problems with my MBA, but the MBP I just bought exhibits no similar issues. Strange, and the article you link to is the only one I've seen that gives a hint of perhaps being able to solve this at a lower level. Anyway, I've now moved the MBA on but finding 256GB SSD on the MBP a little small. Anyway, I digress...
