WiFi sporadically dropping on rMBP 2015

[Rotaninart]

Hi there,

I've been encountering the following problem for the last two weeks.

Every half an hour or so my Internet connection drops. I can neither access my NAS or the web at all.

However, turning Wifi off and back on usually solves the problem, temporarily at least.

I should say though, that the connection itself doesn't drop though. My MacBook always shows 5/5 bars.



Whenever the connection is dropped, my iPhone's internet is slow too. I say slow because in most cases it still works. Kind of 2G style slow.



So my question is, is this because of my MacBook Pro's WiFi or because of my router. I'd prefer the latter more though

. Is there any way to find that out?



Thanks for any response



PS: I've tried out literally anything I could find on the internet.

My Mac:
MacBook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2015)
i7 2,5GHz
16GB RAM
512GB SSD
dGPU R9 M370X

Omg I've had this problem since forever!! It's like still connected. But I can't ping or reach anything.. I need to manually turn off my WiFi (Mac) and re enable it again..

Hi, its been reasonably well documented that Linksys routers appear not to like Mac's with many users having exactly the same problem. There are even youtube MacOS tutorial videos where the presenters advise against Linksys routers.
