Internet connection lost on Macbook(ventura). It connects again if I change network name or its pwd

I have two Macbooks on my network. They lost internet connection al of a sudden. Just these two computers lost internet connection, the rest of the devices continued working fine. iPhones, iPad, old iMac with no Ventura, Windows PCs, android phones, none of these have issues, just the Macbooks running ventura. I have been troubleshouting and found out that if I change the network name and/or network password, the Macs are able to connect again. If I connect to the guest network, they will connect with no issues. Any idea what could be causing this problem? I am using Google Nest WIFI.

Try the suggestions in this earlier reply:


I don't work for Google.

No luck with those recommendations. Both computers keep disconnecting from the Internet.

Hi folks, 

@olavrb, thanks for the assistance.

I'm sorry for this experience, @MarcoBolanos. Please make an IP reservation for your two computers. After that, go ahead and set a static IP address for them.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards, 
Lovely

The issue persists after applying the changes. 😔

I did the changes and am still testing. Sometimes it takes time for the issue to appear again. Will keep you informed in a few days

Please don’t close the thread yet. I am still testing
