I have a M2 MBP which Im having some issues with.
Under normal operation, it will connect to a wifi network with no issues - DHCP will assign an IP, DNS and router.
Every now and then, it suddenly drops the DHCP info, leaving me with no IP address, DNS servers or routing, and nothing I can do will get it working again on DHCP until it sorts itself out.
The MBP is connected to the wifi network, it just wont talk to the DHCP server.
It can remain in this state for several minutes before correcting itself - or I can set a manual IP address and Im back on the network immediately. Sometimes a reboot also fixes it, but not always.
I have his issue on multiple wifi networks that have nothing in common apart from this laptop - it even happens on my iPhones hotspot.
