Had recurring wifi issues on a Macbook Pro as well (as did many of my co-workers)... Not saying it's great on Linux but I would hardly call the alternatives much better...
- s_kilk 10y agoSame, after about 48 hours uptime my MacBook will start dropping network connection every few minutes. This can only be cured by a full reboot. The MacBook also regularly (at least once per week) drops all input devices (including built in keyboard and trackpad), which can only be cured by a hard power-strangle and reboot. My colleagues experience the same problems too. Basically, the ultra-reliable Mac is a myth, its as prone to failure as any computer.
- afarrell 10y agoI've never experienced this. Have you considered taking it into the genius bar?
- Aeolos 10y agoExact same experience. Roughly 48 hours of uptime and then I have to reboot in order to maintain a SSH connection. That, and Finder that becomes unusably slow after working with images for a few hours. (Admittedly, tens of thousands of images, but it degrades to the point that merely opening an empty folder takes 2-3 seconds.)
- ianamartin 10y agoI have this issue with my 11" MacBook Air as well as my 15" MacBook Pro from work. I do not have the issue with my personal MacBook Pro, which is identical hardware configuration and model to my work machine. All are running the same version of macOS. It's honestly a kind of a mystery to me.
- guelo 10y agoSame. Also never-ending Bluetooth issues.
