Fixing Wi-Fi Drops After Waking from Sleep on macOS Sequoia

If your 15-inch 2015 MacBook Pro is running macOS Sequoia via OCLP and fails to reconnect to the internet after waking from sleep, it is likely a driver conflict introduced by the legacy wireless kexts.

Step-by-Step Fixes

  1. Reapply Root Patches: Ensure you are using the latest version of OpenCore Legacy Patcher. Open the app, select 'Post-Install Root Patch', and click 'Start Root Patching'. Once done, reboot your Mac.
  2. Toggle Wi-Fi in Terminal: Instead of rebooting your Mac, you can restart the network interface by opening Terminal and running these commands:
    sudo ifconfig en0 down
    sudo ifconfig en0 up
  3. Reset Network Configurations: Sometimes old configuration files corrupt after a major update. Go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and delete the following files, then reboot your Mac:
    - com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    - NetworkInterfaces.plist
  4. Disable Wake for Network Access: Go to System Settings > Battery > Options, and set 'Wake for network access' to Never. This stops the network card from crashing during deep sleep cycles.

Original Question: "Help - Internet will not turn back on after closing lid"

MacBookPro 15" 2015 on Sequoia 15.7.7 - When closing the lid and then reopening several hours later the MBP will not reconnect to the internet. I must reboot the MBP to get it to reconnect. Does anyone happen to have any suggestions? Thank you for your time.
