Connection problem with bluerov

Hello all,
Came across a problem today and looking for any input or solutions.
Im using a macbook pro and mac os high sierra 10.13.6. my rov is connected to the computer using a fathom x. Ardusub version is 0.0.18.

Here’s the problem:
When i turn the wifi off on my computer qground control disconnects from the rov and i cannot get a connection for the life of me. When i turn the wifi back on it reconnects immediately.

now when i turn the wifi off and restart the computer, i get a connection immediately (with the wifi off), if i turn it on and off again…i get the same problem…

Has anyone experienced this before? any solutions?

other than this everything is working perfectly…

Thanks a lot for any input,
William
