Upload crashed wifi on macbook

donAFRO, I was able to reproduce a similar error on a MacBookPro15,1 running macOS 10.15.2, using a TP-Link Archer C7v2 home wifi router. Using a wired connection seems to eliminate the errors. Disabling Apple Wireless Direct Link using “sudo ifconfig awdl0 down” also works for me, using wireless. This workaround comes from https://serverfault.com/questions/886333/ssid-authentication-periodic-failure. We have some changes in the work that may stress the network a little less, I’ll try to keep an eye on this.

@donAFRO I’m not sure if the problems I’m seeing are similar to your own, but I was able to fix the problem without disabling Apple Wireless Direct Link by obtaining a new wireless router. I am not seeing the same behavior of a Netgear Nighthawk as I did with the TP-Link Archer C7.

A fix to lower DNS resolution pressure is in early code review; this is known to help some routers: https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/428

when i try to upload 1.5GB file at work where the internet is 200/200 and i am connected to ubiquity WiFi access point it will fail like on every second or third try… i dont know the rest of the devices in the network, but it is coworking for hundred people here… at home i have some Mikrotik and internet 50/50 which and the uplink is also failing most of the time… to upload the file succesfully it will also take ages, i dont know who says it is faster than S3 from amazon…

Have you downloaded the newest build?
I just tested the uplink and its pretty fast today

I’m having the same issue. After starting to upload, my wifi crashes. Sometimes rerunning, it completes the upload, other times it crashes. It’s inconsistent. Using MacOS Catelina.
