The model ID is MackBookPro 11,1 Wi-Fi card type Airport Extreme (0x14E4, 0x112), firmware version Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0, supported PHY mode 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The MacOS version is 10.14.5.
The card has been working just fine for the last five years or so. As of late, while the Wi-Fi icon shows connected, it can renew DHCP lease, the network apps report no internet connection. The command "host -a domain.name" works at times, while other times does not when there's no access to the Internet. The Ethernet adapter works just fine accessing the Internet, even at the times when the Airport adapter cannot. Rebooting the system remediate this issue most of the times, but not always, and sometimes just for loading couple of pages in the browser.
The access point is Asus RT-N66R that has no issues. W10 laptops, iPhones using it without any issues. For that matter, even other MacBook Pros from 2018 use it with no issues either.
Other than the standard network utilities, is there any other procedure to test the Airport card?
Everything points to the Airport card having some issues on occasions. Is there a way to replace this card, if it finally decides it had enough?
TIA...
