Macbook wifi problems

I have a 2.1 c2d macbook and a network based around a d-link dsl-g604t. I have the macbook since christmas and it connected perfectly for the first few days but now it won't connect at all and it gives the error code '88001006' and says 'There was an error joining the airport network "the_ether"'. There are also a g4 aluminium powerbook, a g3 powerbook, and a clamshell iBook which all connect to the network fine. Is the macbook the problem and if i change to 10.4.7 will this fix it?

Hi, I had similar problems and eventually the Airport card just disappeared from the system.
At first I thought it was dead but I reset the P-RAM, and it came back.
This is from Apple support:
# Shut down the computer.
# Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
# Turn on the computer.
# Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
# Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
# Release the keys
You can also try holding down the on button til the computer beeps. I did that too, which of the two solved my problem I don't know.
If the above doesn't work it could be a loose antenna on the airport card, check that the antenna is properly fastened (unfortunately, this isn't as easy as on the early macs)

If this doesn't work you probably need a new airport card.
I'd take it in for repairs if you're not comfortable or very able at fiddling about with the internals of a computer.

  • Strange wifi problem on a brand-new MacBook Pro

    Hey there, I'm new here. Desperation has got the better of me, and I hope I can get some advice.
    So, last sunday I bought a brand new 13" MacBookPro with 2.8g i7 processor and 10.7.2 OS (I can't update to 10.7.4 because System Update tells me the download has been tampered with or corrupted after I waited 2 hours for it to finish, but I'm trying a direct download from the website). Here's the exact product: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MD314LL-13-3-Inch-VERSION/dp/B005CWIZ4O/ref= sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1340301247&sr=8-5&keywords=macbook+pro+13
    Everything is all perfect except for a strange wifi problem. Note that the wifi does not turn-on or off, it doesn't disconnect after 'sleep', it doesn't get less speed, it doesn't constantly leave a preferred connection (once I chose my home wifi it always connects to it no problem). The wifi bar is always full. What is wrong is that the internet is kinda 'glitchy'. The best metaphor I can think of is that it's like a car that has to be pushed down the road before the engine can start. Please, bear with me because this is kinda hard to explain and I'm not good at tech lingos.
    One of the symptoms is browsing can get really slow and inconsistent, almost as if the wifi gets turned off in the middle of browsing. For example: if I look something up on Google and then open 5 new tabs, probably only 2 or 3 of those tabs will eventually load while the other two will not get past the long 'http:.......google.....etc etc' address and will eventually show one of those 'error loading page because there's no Internet connection' notice. This happens a lot. Sometimes I have to refresh/retry loading a page a couple of times before it finally loads, then usually everything will get back to normal and I will be able to open multiple tabs with no problem, but in a couple of minutes I would try to open another site and the problem will start again.
    So I tried to see how it does with downloading using iGetter. Fortunately I also have a Macbook (white-plastic casing one) and my brother has an old 2006 MacbookPro so I can compare. With those two older Apples iGetter starts receiving data in less than 8 seconds after I click Start, while my brand-new Macbook Pro can take up to 15-20 seconds, sometimes it doesn't even start at all and I have to re-click the start button. But once the download actually starts (on my new MacBook Pro), it downloads like normal, it doesn't stop and the speed is also as good as I can get. Strange huh? Hence, like a car that has to be pushed before the engine starts.
    I also tried 'speed testing' from a website with all 3 laptops. On my old MacBook and my brother's MacBook pro, once I click 'begin test' it takes only a couple of seconds of 'ping' before the download/upload speed measurements start, but with my new MacBook Pro (just like with iGetter) it takes up to almost a minute before the measurements start, sometimes it won't start at all and I have to re-start the test.
    Well, thanks for reading. And hope you can help me shed some light into this. Because it is really preventing me from really enjoying my new MacBook Pro. And if this is most likely a hardware problem, I'd better get back to the store and try to get it replace or something while it's only been 5 days. *cheers*

    Hey guys.. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, I bought the MacBook in Indonesia where there are no such thing as an AppleCare. The only option is to leave the Apple product to one of the 'Authorized Apple care centre' and have whoever do whatever to it without guarantee of success. As for returning it and getting a brand new one, I also don't know if there is such a deal here, but that's actually a good idea, will try to go to the store tomorrow. Although, I'm worried that the problem might be with OSX Lion or something and getting a new one won't help.
    mark75090, I've tried resetting the router when I first noticed te problem, didn't work though. I've checked my new MacBook's wi-fi (option+click wifi bar) and it says 'PHY Mode: 802.11g', so does my MacBook and the old MacBook Pro. I don't know what those mean though, and I don't know whether or not my router is an N., can you tell me more please.. I have tried with the other two turned off, and only the new MacBook using the wi-fi but the problem persists. I have also tried connecting directly to the router, but as I described, the problem is too subtle for me to notice the difference.
    Also, if I create a brand new Wi-Fi connection in network preferences and connect to my router through the new Wi-Fi profile, the problem seems to be gone for an hour or so, then it always comes back though. I have also just finally installed 10.7.4, but it doesn't help either.

  • Macbook pro 15 inch wifi problem (late 2011)

    Hello,
    Here I write a little desperate with this problem that I have on the MacBook Pro (late 2011) with WIFI .
    For several months ago, when I power on the MBP is all apparently normal , spend a few minutes and I lose the WIFI , the icon still comes out as "connected " but no WIRELESS signal , I turned off the WIFI, but, when I try to change back to turn ON, the icon of WIFI still OFF ( the inverted triangle ) . Restarting the MBP and still the problem no signal and appears as disabled , delete PRAM several times until finally everything works again , spend some time and again the same thing sometimes is fine for several hours, go out to eat and return and again the same thing, the worst was when I saw the message "Hardware not found" and "X " where the icon goes WIFI . I rebooted several times and not managed , this was the "hardware not found" message. Some time ago I went something like , when Lion had and read that resetting the PRAM and managed , never came out , but now even that it manages , and it is becoming more common , I thought it was the OS ( MacOSX Mavericks ) so I reinstalled (I'm not used Time Machine, I install all again ), this work the lasted several days without fail, until she passed again, I'm out of WiFi, when I see no WIFI signal in the list , restart me WIFI goes off and I can not change , restart it goes back to " hardware not found" and so on.
    Now desperate for this, I opened the MBP , disconnected the cables from the Airport card and reconnected with care and making sure you are all well , turned on the MBP again and works!!, I lasted two weeks , then I thought it was that. But again the whole problem again.
    Already investigating more online and I found some details from other users
    1 / Both WIFI and Bluetooth are on the same card ( the q disconnected and reconnected )
    2 / If the card was wrong , losing the WIFI Bluetooth should lose , but I tried Bluetooth and has no problems
    3 / Reported that resetting PRAM or SMC but still, in my case, does not work.
    Now all I have left to rule is the WIFI antenna that is located ( if I remember correctly ) for the bottom of the screen, and according to several users this tends to fail from constant use to close or open the MBP (or either to cover or uncover ) , and sometimes it just heats and heats close to this area .
    Has anyone had a similar problem? My MBP turns 2 only on March 7, 2014 , I can not believe all that cost me and now is about to fail , I have a Sony VAIO Core 2 Duo for about 5 years (or more) ago and is still running and has been dropped many times and nothing has ever happened : (
    Additional data on my MBP ,
    Several months ago ( long before the problem with the WIFI) I changed the hard drive for an SSD ( 250GB Corsair Neutron X ) .
    There is a problem that often makes me too, is that when you close the MBP ( to open ) , and open it back again ( out of sleep) the following happens :
    1 / It instantly freezes when waking from sleep and I have a long wait to enter the password.
    2 / When you leave idle normal let me put the password, but just when giving ENTER freezes
    3 / Out of sleep, let me put the key, ENTER and when I load the desktop freezes
    Another problem :
    This only happened to me a few times , as I mentioned , my MBP is formatted ( have Mavericks ) before formatted (clean install without time machine) , I closed the MBP ( I sent to sleep) and the open the screen was black , but as with bright, and not leave the state, turned off force ( pressing the button) , start the MBP again (power on) charged normal gray screen with apple but with a fairly low brightness, spent a few seconds and turned the brightness to normal and started normally .
    I hope some can help me with these problems.
    PD : I'm from Peru , if anyone knows a trusted service that please let me know .
    Thank you very much .

    Your wifi problem sounds very much like the problem I had. The wifi would drop out, the icon showed it was still connected. If I turned it off, I couldn't turn it back on. Another user here pointed me to the problem, which was the wifi cable (the flat cable goint from the card to the motherboard). I found it on ebay for $13 and it's been running fine since I replaced it. This is the repair guide for your machine. The part number will be on there if you click the link.

  • Strange macbook pro wifi problems - selective wifi disconnection

    I have 3 macbook pros, two iphones and an apple TV.  My primary macbook pro has some very unusual wifi problems that are hard to pin down.  It frequently disconnects and reconnects itself to the internet constantly throughout the day.  I've been testing it in various ways and today I noticed the strangest anomaly by far. 
    While working today, my primary macbook pro could not connect to the internet through any of the 3 browsers I use.  Airport Utility said the internet was down (internet icon was amber, airport icon was green).  However during this disconnection, my p2p application (Soulseek) experienced no disruption of service and continued to download files.  I opened my second macbook pro and strangely enough, the 2nd mac was able to connect to the internet through browsers without issue, and the airport utility on the 2nd macbook pro said the internet was connected.  My Apple TV was connected too as well as my iPhone.
    It is often difficult for me to troubleshoot network problems because there are so many variables (ISP, airport assembly, airport base station, OSX, airport utility, modem) but I guess in this particular instance, it seems clear that the problem has something to do with my macbook pro.
    My primary macbook has always had wifi problems (and honestly, my last macbook--the one that actually worked today!--had similar issues back when it was my primary laptop).  Last week, my primary macbook pro had the topcase, display and logic board replaced by Apple.  When it came back, it had the same wifi connectivity issues it always had.  Often, a restart will be a very temporary fix, but not always. 
    I am at a complete loss for what could be causing these lapses in service.  In fact, right now as I was trying to access these forums, I could not even get my primary macbook to open the Apple Support Site on any browser.  Every other website would open, except Apple Support.  I opened my 2nd laptop and it opened Apple Support just fine.  After 15 minutes, my primary laptop finally opened up an Apple support page in Firefox. 
    It is really hard to diagnose the problem.  I find that Airport Utility has been so pared down and streamlined to the point that it is worthless.  It is basically a blank window with 2 application logos inside.  It looks very simple and user friendly until it has a problem, and then it tells me to do something very technical without an explanation for the layman (such as assigning DNS servers or putting the airport in Bridge mode).  I always follow Airport Utility's advice, but I still have odd problems.  I am often confused as to whether I should use Airport Utility or the Network button in System Preferences.  They have the same options, but they're arranged under tabs with different titles.
    Anyway, does anyone recognize these macbook pro wifi connectivity problems?  Constant wifi disconnection on one machine (while all others experience no connection problems) coupled with instances of selective disconnection (like browsers not connecting while p2p is able to connect or browser connecting to some sites but not all?)
    Thanks for any help or guidance

    Same exact issue here. It happened once when I updated to Mavericks 10.9.2. It just happened again last night and I can't seem to fix it.
    I tried all sorts of things like deleting the SystemConfiguration folder, PRAM, SMC, DNS flush, etc. Nothing helped. As I recall, the last time it happened it mysteriously fixed itself after a day or two.
    Very weird problem. I have been troubleshooting computers my whole life but this one is tough to figure out. Other machines in the house connect up just fine.

  • If I install Yosemite and find that the wifi problems are too bad, can I go back to Mountain Lion?

    Almost everything I do on my MacBookPro requires a steady wifi connection. I have been reading all the horror stories about the wifi problems with Yosemite. I would like to install Yosemite, but would like to be able to go back to Mountain Lion if the problems are as extreme as I have been hearing.
    Details: My Mac is 3 years old (Apple Care ran out 2 days ago!). I recently upgraded from 4GB of ram to 16GB.
    Router is a Linksys E4200.
    I have an Iphone-4s
    My husband has an older MacBook running Lion.
    I connect to an Epson Artisan 835 with wifi via my router
    We have no need to have the Apple devices communicate with each other.
    I am currently running an appliance in Virtual Box. One reason I want to move to Yosemite is to be able to run it in VMware Fusion instead.
    Thanks.

    Hi there CarylLynne,
    If you upgrade to Yosemite, you should be able to use the following article to revert to the previously installed OS using Time Machine, named:
    OS X Yosemite: Revert to a previous OS X version

  • Use of EtreCheck to solve WiFi problem

    I had a problem with my MacBook Air (original) running 10.7.5. Although the icon in the menubar showed a WiFi connection, I couldn't get any data from the network. Also Airport Utility couldn't see any of the four base stations on my network. I'll leave out the blind alleys and just say what I did to solve the problem.
    I rebooted in Safe Mode, and found the problem went away. I ran EtreCheck and saved the results. I rebooted normally and found the WiFi problem was still there. I ran EtreCheck again and saved the results. On comparing the results, I found AirParrot kernel extensions were running in normal boot mode. I figured that might interfere with normal WiFi functioning.
    I went to the AirParrot website and found a removal tool. I downloaded that and ran it. On rebooting, the problem was gone. EtreCheck confirmed that the AirParrot extensions were no longer present. Case closed.
    I hope this will help someone use a similar method to solve her WiFi, or indeed, other problems. All thanks to the experts on this discussion group who have labored to solve people's problems and put EtreCheck together as a useful tool!
    Self-help is key!

    Hello najlaa1399,
    It sounds like you don't have access to your rescue email and would like to reset your security questions.  I found an article with information that should help:
    If you decide not to provide a rescue email address, you can't reset your security questions and answers yourself later in the event you can't remember the answers to your questions. You'll need to contact iTunes Store support to have your questions and answers reset.
    This is also true if you don't have access to the rescue email.   You can find the full article here:

  • HDMI + Wifi - Problem since a few weeks

    Hello,
    I though I was the only one to face this issue, but I discovered this morning another person reporting it on a French speaking forum (here: http://forums.macgeneration.com/macbook-pro/probleme-wifi-quand-connecte-en-hdmi -sur-tv-446321.html).
    Here's the deal: since a few weeks, when I plug an HDMI adaptor to display my Macbook onto a TV, the wifi disconnect. It use to work perfectly with the same material configuration, so something maybe wrong. I first though of a material problem, either on my Mac or on my TV, but the above mentioned post leads me to search for some software issue.
    My configuration is:
    1- a Macbook Pro unibody (5.5) 13"3, 2.53 Ghz, 4GB ram
    2- OSX 10.6.4
    3- an official mini DisplayPort -> DVI Apple adapter (http://store.apple.com/fr/product/MB570Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MTEwMjYzNzQ)
    4- a DVI -> HDMI adapter (don't remember where I bought it, a kind of no-name I guess, it's written "Monster" on it, bouuuuh
    5- a 5m HDMI cable
    6- an jack 3.5 audio <-> audio cable for the sound
    7- a Samsung LE40A something (full HD 40" flat TV)
    To be more precise, I can say that:
    1- it worked perfectly like this since 3-4 weeks ago
    2- the wifi works perfectly when I connect a Samsung 17" LCD with a mini DisplayPort VGA adapter
    3- when I plug the HDMI, the Wifi icon stays black, but if I click it, I see it searching for a network. If I manually click my network, it ask my WEP / WPA key (???) then refuses to connect. If I unplug the HDMI, it reconnects automatically.
    Strange, isn't it? Any clue or advise to solve this?
    Thanks by advance,
    Renaud

  • Macbook WiFi Very Sluggish

    I've had a history of WiFi problems in the past with my Macbook Pro, but as of late (the past few days), things have been more dire than usual. I'm at college (so the WiFi speeds here are incredible), but also, I need to be able to access said internet for homework and such. My Macbook Pro has been incredibly slow with WiFi connectivity the past few days, across Safari, to the App Store, to iTunes, and even SpeedTest gave me a 2.5Mbps down. It connects to networks just fine, but the download and upload speeds are very subpar. Safari often loads half a page, and then the blue progress bar freezes, and crawls. This is unusual for my Macbook. I tried restoring to a previous version of Mac, and even ran an antivirus software (it found nothing), and yet nothing has improved. Has anyone had any of the same problems? If so, have you found a possible fix? I'm starting to be afraid it's a hardware problem.
    Thank you!

    There are some anecdotal suggested "cures"
    1) set the MTU (packet) size a little smaller. 1430 (down from 1500) seems to work for some users.

  • Does not shutdown, does not start up, wifi problems

    Hi
    I've been unable to switch off my macbookpro by conventional means. when i press the power button, it doesnt give me the option to restart or shut off, and when i scroll down to shutdown and select it, nothing happens. the only way for me to switch it off is to press and hold the power button to force it off.
    I recently upgraded to Leopard hoping this would resolve the problem, but it has persisted. What's worse now is that after installing the updates for leopard last night i have been unable to get back into my computer. I am asked to register my macbook when i turn it on..and after filling out my details, and pressing the done button, I am back on the first registration page where it asks you which country you are in. closing that window, i am left with a blank desktop and i have to force shut down to switch it off. on restarting, i am prompted to register my macbook again.
    i also have a wifi problem whihc i was hoping leopard would solve but it didnt. reading through othre posts on this with no resolution.
    any suggestions??

    hmm, the problem now is that i cant even access my desktop...i'm asked to register each time i turn my computer on and my desktop is completely blank if i close that window. so i have no option other than shutting it off. (i have to use the internet and computer at work now to read my email etc)how do i run the disk utilits repair if i cant gain access into my computer?
    yeah the guy at the store said he found that the new leopard improved his wifi connection and he had less drop outs but now i think he was probably jsut pushing a sale and BSing me!
    appreciate ur help!

  • OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 WiFi Problem

    Hi Guys and Gals,
    I'm using MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch Late 2013 and my OS is OS X Yosemite version 10.10.3.  I'm having problem with WiFi connectivity.  I cannot connect to my office WiFi.  I've tried many solution provided in the Internet about similar problem, but I still can't fix it.  I know that there are similar discussions about this, but the other discussions are about wifi problems in 10.10.2.  Can any of you help me? Thanks.

    try this
    : Remove Network Configuration & Preference Files
    Manually trashing the network plist files should be your first line of troubleshooting. This is one of those tricks that consistently resolves even the most stubborn wireless problems on Macs of nearly any OS X version. This is particularly effective for Macs who updated to Yosemite that may have a corrupt or dysfunctional preference file mucking things up:
    Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
    From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    Within this folder locate and select the following files:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    com.apple.network.identification.plist
    com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if need be
    Reboot the Mac
    Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again
    This forces OS X to recreate all network configuration files. This alone may resolve your problems, but if you’re continuing to have trouble we recommend following through with the second step which means using some custom network settings.

  • 10.10.1 Bluetooth-linked Wifi problems continue

    I upgraded to Version 10 in fall 2014 and immediately had WiFi problems: intermittently page loads would either timeout or take a long time. Eventually, I realized is was caused by my Bluetooth connection. So, I have ditched my external screen, keyboard and mouse for the last few months.
    I have just tried switching on bluetooth for the 1st time in months. And guess what? No internet pages load via WiFi. I switch bluetooth off and it works (hence I can post this comment!).
    This is kind of annoying and I am completely shocked that we are now on 10.10.1 and it's still not solved. Anyone solved this or have the same problem?
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

    OK. This is getting more interesting. I am at the office today - so a different WIFI and still the same problems with Internet connection when Bluetooth is switched on. However, I noticed this: I switch on Bluetooth and Internet does not work (sometimes with Bluetooth on it works but very, very slowly). I connect a Magic Mouse. I then use the mouse. It is almost impossible to use. There is a LAG an at some points it stops moving as if it has lost the signal. I had an idea: Switch off the WIFI. I did that, and the mouse works perfectly, immediately.
    Conclusion: it's not just Bluetooth that interferes with WIFI signal. It's the WIFI signal that also interferes with the Bluetooth signal.
    This is a MAC hardware problem as I have used different WIFIs and different Bluetooth devices. I believe, Googling this, that it might be the people like me that have this Mac: MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    I assume that Apple is not investigating that as it's a small subset of all Mac users.
