My current router at home is from Cisco (Model: DPQ3925, the stock router from the ISP) and my ISP is Cox Communications. Please let me know if you need any extra information. So, is it possible that the same WiFi receiver which is in my Macbook uses a different frequency to connect to WiFi when booted with Windows, and all the other devices use a different frequency? I am not sure of this, but have read that most smartphones and laptops use the 5 GHz frequency, is it possible that Windows uses, or rather Apple makes Windows to use the 2.4 GHz band for its bootcamped devices? Will using a different WiFi switch/router/transmitter solve my problem? Are there any software tweaks that I can make to resolve this? Or perhaps a different driver? Any help will be greatly appreciated. It is also worthwhile to note that my other devices, which include 2 Samsung smartphones, and my roommate's devices including his laptop and his smartphone, do not have any drops on their WiFi connection. When I am at school using Windows 10 on my mac, there is no disconnection of the WiFi. Also, I have noticed that this happens only when I am home using my home WiFi. To be very clear this is an issue only while using Windows (means my hardware is perfectly OK).

My WiFi keeps on disconnecting/reconnecting in intervals of 5-10 minutes. Recently, Apple pushed bootcamp 6 to my machine and I thought all my woes would be gone, but I was wrong.Īs of now, I do not have any other issues using Windows on my mid 2012 Macbook Pro (non-retina, which also runs the latest OSX 10.11 El Capitan) except for the WiFi. After installing Windows 10 via bootcamp, initially I did not have the WiFi drivers installed automatically, however, installing the legacy WiFi driver from the bootcamp driver package resolved the issue.
