Having issues with MacBook Pro losing connection constantly to internet
Not sure how to explain this better.

It's my work computer. If I'm actively doing work (switching websites, using google sheets, etc) my mac will randomly disconnect for 5-15 seconds, and it gives me the "unstable connection" error.

This is specifically bad while I'm using Zoom. If I join a zoom call, and do nothing else but leave my computer alone, it only happens once every hour or so. But, if I'm doing work on the side, regardless of what it is, it seems to feel like it overloads the mac and the connection disconnects. It will then reconnect automatically after about 5-15 seconds, but it does it non stop it is so frustrating.

I just got a new google mesh router, and haven't seen issues with any other devices, so this is making me think its a Mac specific issue. I have a Windows Laptop that I use sporadically and haven't had any issues there, or other devices like TV's, Xbox, etc. I tried restarting it, but still having issues. Any ideas or tips?
