My mac is Macbook Pro (mid2014), OSX 10.11.3 (15D21). It disconnects literally every one minutes when I am watching stream on douyutv.com (Chinese version of Twitch). My other devices(smartphone, pad, pc) works all right. I did an experience that watch stream on all my devices, only mac disconnected.

Is it a bug or just something wrong with my configuration?

Could you check your logs? Ie start the "Console.app", search for "arpt" (airport) and see if you see something. – flindeberg Mar 2 at 9:16

Try this quick-n-dirty solution.

Reset the WiFi

  1. From toolbar -> Go -> Go To Folder
  2. Paste this Address /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

  3. Locate and delete these files

    • com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    • com.apple.network.identification.plist
    • com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
    • NetworkInterfaces.plist
    • preferences.plist

  4. Restart your Macbook

Thanks for your reply! I just tried all solutions on that webpage. Don't work. This issue only happens when I watching stream. Surfing web, playing online games are not affected. – Slimpothive Feb 28 at 3:29
