I posted about it on Apple Support Twitter. Maybe if the legions of us with the ussue follow suit, they will take notice.

I am still trying to find a fix for this. Just posted this thread on Apple Support Twitter.

MacBookPro 2017 15" Intel, damned Touchbar, Mojave 10:14:6 Same issue. No proxies. Reading all of the above as well as other numerous discussions on this topic: I backed everything up to an XHD. Started in Safe mode. Attempted to upgrade to Monterey several times. Network connection lost. This is the first Mac in decades of usership that I have ever had so many problems. I have had to send it in for service at least 4 times. This model series seems to be a buggy ol' lemon.
