After a great deal of browsing, it seems that wifi issues amongst apple products (specifically computers), are tragically commonplace, yet my laptop appears to have an issue unreported on the internet.
So, my 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display (which I've owned for just about a year an a half now), has, in the last few months (3 or 4 months I'd say), been having odd wifi issues. I'm stressing that this is, to my knowledge, a new issue with the laptop, in case that has any baring on potential ways to solve the problem.
Essentially, my wifi drops, almost perfectly, every 15 minutes. Consistently. I've tried everything I've seen available, setting up a DNS server/wifi thing (which just didn't work at all), deleting wifi preferences, which does work for about a day, but then the issues shortly return. I've tried playing about with the priority of my wifi over ethernet, the ordering of the wifi it actually connects to, creating a new wifi profile entirely, messing around with power saving preferences, and almost all other preferences you can image could have an impact on wifi. I've also tried deleting that file from keychain which is commonly suggested, but I couldn't even find it in the list of profiles on my keychain so I disregarded that, too.
I've tried extensively, and this is such an annoying issue, whether I'm watching youtube videos, movies, playing online games, etc, such persistent wifi interference is driving me insane, and I'd rather not have to force reboot every other day after deleting wifi files, as it just becomes a needless inconvenience.
I'm at the point where I'm tempted to go to the apple store, but thought I'd ask here for help, in case I can fix it myself, and save myself time and money (as I'd probably have to have my laptop taken away to be fixed, which means sacrificing time spent doing uni work, etc), or have to get a new laptop entirely.
Please, if anyone has some alternate solutions, I will try anything!
Thanks!
