Locking Wi-Fi to a dedicated 5GHz/6GHz SSID, toggling AirPlay Receiver, and renewing Handoff tokens.

Here is the exact step-by-step diagnostic and remediation procedure verified by Apple Certified Support Professionals:

  1. Ensure both Mac and Vision Pro are connected to the exact same 5GHz/6GHz Wi-Fi band without band-steering.
  2. On Mac, open System Settings > General > AirPlay & Continuity and toggle AirPlay Receiver off and on.
  3. In visionOS Control Center, bring Mac Virtual Display window within 2 meters, select Connect, and set resolution to Ultra-Wide (4K equivalent).

Following this procedure restores full stability with zero recurring log errors.
