When you wake your Mac up from sleep, you might find that it disconnects from Wi-fi. Re-joining a network every time you wake up your Mac is one irritating thing. This usually happens when you’ve connected your Mac to other Wifi networks in the past.
Leave a Comment on Awaken for Mac: wake up to your music To say I’m a heavy sleeper would be somewhat of an understatement! At the moment my alarm is set for at least an hour before I wake up as I am one of those types who likes to hit the snooze button several times before even thinking about waking. It's unable to wake up. For example, if my MacBook enters sleep mode and in power management settings is 'standbydelay 600' (meaning waiting 600 seconds in sleep mode before entering standby mode), my MacBook wakes up without problem only if I wake it up before 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes it crashes. Every time I put my Mac Pro to sleep, it wakes up. I ran the 'wake reason' program and found out that it was an USB device. After trial and error, unplugging everything, I realized that it was my apple keyboard that's waking the computer up.
Getting rid of this is easy although the solution is a little quirky. You will need the Wi-fi details (and password) before proceeding with these steps.
How to Fix Mac Disconnecting from Wifi after Sleep-Wake
Step #1. Open the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
Step #2. Click on Network.
Step #3. Now, click on the Wi-Fi option on the left → Next up, click the Advanced button.
Step #4. Click on anything inside the Preferred Networks panel. Then, press Command+A to select all and then hit the minus [-] option beneath the panel to remove all Wi-Fi Networks → Press Okay.
You will return to the Network Panel. Now, let’s add your Wi-fi network back.
Step #5. Click on the Locations pull-down menu and then click on Edit Locations.
Step #6. Hit [+] plus sign to add network location and type in any name → Click on Done.
Step #7. Press “Apply” and log out of System preferences.
You will be asked to enter the Wi-Fi password once Mac identifies and connects to the WiFi network. That should be it.
By following the above steps, you delete the older data on Wi-Fi networks that your Mac has connected to in the past. Then, you create a new connection which is basically like resetting things. This should solve the disconnect issue.
