    Hello,
    Since 2-3 days I am experiencing the following problem:

    As soon as I run my Win7 on Parallels 9 on my macbook pro while being connected to a valid wifi connection, my virtual machine is connected and has access to the internet but my mac's connection is becoming instable. It often disconnects and has no connection to the internet.

    I am wondering what the reason might be since apparently my notebook is connected to the internet somehow.

    System:

    Macbook Pro late 2012
    Windows 7 Professional
    Wifi Connection through installed profile on mac
    Parallels9 network settings: Shared controller

    Thanks for any help!!
