recently when streaming video or downloading larger files, my iMac will suddenly lose internet connection and generally still show connected to my wifi, but also will at times fully disconnect to it. Either way it will not reconnect to it or another wifi router, unless I restart the machine. As soon as I do, it connects automatically without issue. I can't reproduce this bug, but it does appear tied to consistent long, large files - generally streaming video.

thoughts anyone? many thanks in advance.
