I've been having a frustrating issue with my 2018 MacBook Pro where it drops the WiFi signal every 20 minutes. I even tried using a mobile hotspot, and it did the same thing. I've checked for any software updates, restarted the device completely, and removed the internet connection before reconnecting, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Have you checked the 'Location' setting in your network preferences? Try creating a new location with a random name and deleting the old one. That might help with the connectivity issues you're facing.
You might want to check this video for troubleshooting tips. If that doesn’t solve your problem, consider doing a factory reset or a fresh reinstall of MacOS. Here are a few links to different videos that might be helpful: [Troubleshooting Video 1](https://youtu.be/Nx6yxgI9bzo?si=kjkiaE1MCFhI22aJ), [Reinstallation Guide](https://youtu.be/BT7amjg0m6I?si=DoIYXiwZX_G2rHC-), [Alternative Fix](https://youtu.be/HQ7_dMmvuUQ?si=nFk6UMAXZ4tGzmzx).
I just tried the first video, and it didn’t work. If I decide to go for the factory reset, what’s an easy way to retrieve all my data afterwards?
