MacBook users report Wi-Fi issues on commercial networks. According to a recent report, there have been numerous reports of Wi-Fi connection troubles with Apple silicon-powered MacBooks when linked to some business networks. The problem is claimed to have arisen after Apple issued recent security patches for macOS Ventura. There is a temporary solution for this issue, and according to the source, Apple is working on a more permanent repair, though there is no word on when the update will be released.
Meter, a San Francisco-based technology company that provides Internet infrastructure for enterprises, provided the research. According to the firm, M1 and M2 MacBook users have reported poor Internet performance, failed connections during Zoom calls, and loss of Wi-Fi access while using specific office Wi-Fi networks.
According to the report, this issue has been reported by multiple Wi-Fi vendors for organisations as well as educational institutions such as UCLA in the United States. The issue is related to Apple’s AWDL (Apple Wireless Direct Link) interface, which is used for features such as AirDrop and AirPlay.
According to the business, the emergence of the issues is related to recent macOS and iOS updates, which were released on October 24 and November 9, respectively, and appear to interfere with the Wi-Fi connection when AWDL is activated. According to Meter, the M1 and M2 MacBook Pro models appear to be the most afflicted. Disabling AWDL appears to improve Wi-Fi performance immediately, and Meter has explained the steps required in its study.
The business also claims that you are unlikely to encounter this problem at home because the demand on your MacBook’s Wi-Fi radio isn’t as high as it might be in some commercial settings. Hopefully, Apple will provide a more permanent remedy in a future update.
