Universal Control Randomly Disconnects - Solution

Hello! I have tried all the steps, but I still keep having the same issue.

I have an M1 Mac Mini and an M2 Air that disconnects every two or three hours. This started after I updated to Sonoma. I tried the following steps:

• Recommended Steps: 1-6 above
• Moved My Mac Mini under my Laptop and turned it upside down
• Removed all VPNs
• Removed all known Networks and reconnected to a single network
• I reinstalled the Sonoma Software
• I did hard resets
• I turned off all incoming connections, Network, and Bluetooth and turned them back on
• I ran diagnostics to see if any of the hardware was acting up
• I Made a rebootable USB with Ventura, completely erased my hard drive, and reinstalled Ventura
• Now, every time the connection drops, I have to turn off and back on my Mouse because it glitches it

On top of this, my quick actions are not working, but that's a problem for another thread.

I reached out to Apple Support and gave them some data from my computer. It's been months, and there has been no fix.

Just went through these steps (my own post about the issue is somewhere around here today). This seems to have fixed it for now. I will try manipulating interface on Music app on the laptop and see if it triggers the disconnect. Arggggh.....it did...hitting the play button on Music on the laptop breaks the UC link to the laptop. The preference setting just won't stick.

Hi Michael,

I have tried, I placed my Mac Mini upside down with the Mac Air on top of it ( on a perforated stand ) and I did not see any improvement :(

I’ll give it another go and try to locate the exact location of the antennas. This is such a headache.
