Wifi losing internet connection (while still connected to router) I am facing an odd issue on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. My wifi connection within the office is really messy now. Before I didn't have any issue for a few months. Furthermore wifi works perfectly fine with other networks. 

There are 3 things happening periodically. 

1) I am losing internet connection, but the laptop is still connected to wifi.   

I was pinging 192.168.1.1 and everything seems to be fine, and then all of the sudden I start getting timeouts: 

64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=14195 ttl=64 time=4.036 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=14196 ttl=64 time=4.597 ms

Request timeout for icmp_seq 14207

Request timeout for icmp_seq 14208

Request timeout for icmp_seq 14209


Tracerout is timing out. 

2) Laptop is disconnecting from network and reconnecting in few seconds 

3) Laptop seems to be connected (but now internet available), however when I click on wifi icon, I can see only 1 network (the one I am using) and no other network. After turning it off and on I can see 5-7 different networks 

What I've tried so far:


Remove network and connect again 
Remove and Re-Add The WiFi Service
Tried to use static IP 
Reset PRAM and SMC
Add new location in Network settings
Reinstall OS
Restore factory settings on a router 
Delete The Internet Preference Files (com.apple.internetconfig.plist, 
com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist and others) 


Unfortunately, the issue still persists. I am running out of ideas... I thought that the adapter could get broken but it works fine with other networks. On the other hand, I am the only one in the office facing this issue along with router so doesn't seem like router issue either. 

Any ideas how to troubleshoot it?
I would try again after a Safe Mode (restart holding Shift ⇧) and see if the results are the same. Also, could you try using Ethernet to gauge the difference? Is this a laptop? If so, is there a case which could be removed? Any new equipment nearby (ie an electric fan, metal filing cabinet, etc.) which could be disrupting the signal? If it is a laptop, it is entirely plausible that the internal antenna has come loose or damaged (any repair or upgrade work carried out?).
