Maverick upgrade created wifi connectivity problem

Have a chat with apple, they deleted the newtwork name and delited the system preference folder.
Restar, and that shoud thake care of the problem.
No it did not, the problem persit.
Is there an offical ticket to solve this on the next Mavericks upgrade?

Tried both options but still no luck.
I have got a seperate DSL modem and a seperate wireless router connected to it.
When i upgraded from iOS5 to iOS6, same problem occured but resolved after following such steps.
But this time, its a real pain!
Let me know if i make changes in router like SSID or anything? In order to make it work, I assume that iPad should treat my router as a new device rather than an old one. Please suggest, thanks.

  • New retina MacBook Pro - WiFi connectivity problems

    Dear all,
    I've recently purchased the new Haswell 13" retina MBP, and I'm having exactly the same WiFi connectivity problems the 2013 Airs had. I have a solid connection for a short time, and at irregular intervals it just drops out. All of my other devices are still connected and have no problems. I've tried with two different routers/modems, but the problem persists.
    Is this a known problem - with hopefully a software fix in the forseeable future, or do I need to return the MacBook?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    Nic

    I haven't got a Retina, but I do have the same wifi problem. And if you've looked at these forums, you'll see it's been going on for years and no one seems to have a handle on what the issue is. All I can say is if I were in your place I'd take it back and exchange it. You have the chance now, so take it.

  • IPad WiFi Connection Problems - WiFi Symbol Appears With Full Bars but I Don't Get A Checkmark?

    I was using the iPad one day and then all of a sudden it stopped connecting to the internet. The network at this hotel is very good and I've asked them about their router so it is not the router's problem.
    I go to the Settings and tap on Wi-Fi then I tap on the hotel network. After a few seconds, it says the network name beside the Wi-Fi tab and it gives me the WiFi symbol showing 3 bars. But then I never get the checkmark or tick saying everything is connected. I try going online and it says the iPad is not connected to the internet. I've tried an iPhone and it connected and got a checkmark in a few seconds. I've talked to the front desk and he took out his phone and showed me that he could connect, he even opened a page without any problems at all.
    I've been trying to find a solution for this for a long time. I've been searching Google over and over again. I turned Airplane Mode on for 1 minute, I've tried Resetting my Network settings, I've tried forgetting the network and reconnecting again, I've tried removing all restrictions from the iPad, I've rebooted the iPad A LOT, etc.
    So this is my problem for people who don't want to read the whole message:
    1. I can't connect to the internet with the iPad
    2. It shows the WiFi symbol saying its connected but I never get the checkmark or tick.
    3. It's not the router problem.
    4. I've tried other networks and it doesn't work. It just keeps on showing that loading circle right beside the network name.
    5. Do any of you know what this problem is? Or do you have a solution?
    Thank you for reading this and have a great day

    Since you are in a hotel, some of these are not applicable.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • Iconia A1-830 has a Wifi connection problem when it out to 3-5 meters

     I bought Aser Iconia A1-830 in BestBuy and after 10 days I found out the Wifi Connection problem. If you stay close to router (1-3 meters) the WiFi signal is Good (not excellent). If I go to another room - Wifi connection is Poor or disabled. I changed it for another one (the same model). The second model was perfect only 1.5 months and now it has the same wifi connection problem. Can somebody help me? Maybe the problem in my router, but why it worked 1.5 months? 

    I'm not sure what the real reason is, but I do know it's a it of a hassle getting the connectors pushed back on. They are very tiny and take some pressure to install and I could easily imagine a wire not completely tied in place moving enough to work loose. Let us know how yours comes out.

  • Any wifi connection problems with new Macbook Pro 13" models?

    I currently use a 15" Macbook Pro (about 3.5 years old) that has intermittent WiFi connection issues (intermittently loses signal). This seems to have been a very common problem with this laptop model. My kids, who use Macbooks, have no connection problems. In any case, I'd love to buy one of the new model 13-inch Macbook Pro's but hesitate because of my many issues with WiFi connectivity on my older Macbook Pro. Just wondering if anyone is experiencing connectivity problems with the new model?

    I've never had Wifi connection problems with a Macbook and now with the 13" MacBook Pro I was flabergasted when I took my MacBook down the street to a coffee house with free WiFi. I went to connect to their WiFi and found my own WiFi connection listed. I thought this odd even though I was on the same block as my apartment, my apartment is six stories up. I connected to the Coffee Shop WiFi but it was really slow so I wondered if I could connect to my own home connection. I switched it over and lo-and behold I did connect! It was a good 300 feet away! I NEVER saw this with previously owned MacBooks including the black MacBook and the MacBook offered just before they moved the MacBook up to the Pro series.
    So I'd say they have improved the WiFi nicely.

  • N95 8BG "WiFi Connection problems" and "Web: no ga...

    Like many users, I could not get my new Nokia (N95 8GB) to work with my WiFi. After many attempts, using the various ideas posted, I came up with a solution that works reliably for me.
    First lets deal with "WiFi Connection problems"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Wireless LAN
    'Show WLAN availability' = 'Yes'
    'Scan for networks' = 'Every 5 minutes'
    Some users have suggested choosing 'Advanced Settings' from the 'Options' menu, changing 'Automatic configuration' to 'Disabled' and the either setting 'RTS threshold' to '2346', or setting 'Power saving' to 'Disabled'. I tried both of these but they did not make any difference in my case. However they may make a difference for you, hence their inclusion here.
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Choose 'New access point' from the 'Options' menu
    'Data bearer' = 'Wireless LAN'
    'WLAN network name' = If your network is set to broadcast its SSID, use 'Search for networks' then select your network from the list, otherwise use 'Enter manually' and type in the SSID.
    'Connection name' = anything you like, but I use the SSID
    'Network status' = not sure about this maybe someone can confirm, but I think if the SSID is broadcast then it is 'public', otherwise it is 'private'.
    'WLAN network mode' = match this to your access point configuration. Mine is set to 'Infrastructure', so I do not cover the ad-hoc scenario here.
    'WLAN security mode' = again I am using WEP so have not covered other scenarios.
    'WLAN security settings' = these should match you access point configuration.
    'Homepage' = whatever you like. I use 'http://www.google.co.uk', just so that when I start browsing I get something reliable, useful, and dependable. If Google fails to appear it usually means there is something wrong with your config.
    Now lets handle the dreaded "Web: no gateway reply"
    Menu/Tools/Settings/Connection/Access Points
    Scroll down to highlight the new access point and choose 'Edit' from the 'Options' menu. Now choose 'Advanced settings' from the 'Options' menu.
    Assuming you network used IPv4, which most do in my experience, select 'IPv4 settings'. I don't know about IPv6, and don't use a proxy so these are not covered.
    The values you enter in 'IPv4 settings', depend upon your network/router settings, and whether you have a DHCP server or not.
    Assume your a router IP Address, on the LAN side, is 192.168.0.1, and that it has a DHCP server set to serve addresses in the range 192.168.0.64 to 192.168.0.192, using subnet 255,255,255,0. Since the mobile does not seem able to get an IP Address from the DHCP server we give it a static address 192.168.0.55. Notice this is outside the range sereved by te DHCP server to avoid conflicts.
    We end up with:
    'Phone IP address = '192.168.0.55'
    'Subnet mask' = '255,255,255,0'
    'Default gateway' = '192.168.0.1'
    'DNS address' = 'user defined'
    'Primary DNS address' = '192.168.0.1'
    'Secondary DNS address' = '0.0.0.0'
    I used something similar and was at last able to browse the web via wifi.
    I hope all of the above helps someone out there.

    I have just experienced this problem having been using the WiFi network for months without problems. I tries all the suggestions on these forums including the power settings, turning off WEP, and the fixed IP suggestion and none worked. I even reinstalled the firmware and reconfigured everything. It turned out to be the router. I had rebooted it several times to no effect but the DHCP always gave the N95 the same IP address lease. So I changed the range of IP addresses the DHCP could lease and restarted the N95. It got a new IP and was back working again.
    If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.

  • Chronic Wifi Connectivity Problems

    My late 2011 MBP has been having chronic wifi connectivity problems ever since I got it, although I have really only begun to see the full extent. I bought it in late April 2012, so I am still covered by my one year warranty.
    Problems are as follows:
    Will not connect to certain areas. I am okay in my dorm, at my house, and several friend's houses, but it won't connect anywhere else on campus. (You can imagine that this is a problem.)
    I am running bootcamp on it, and the Windows side has no issues with connectivity.
    About every month, like clockwork, the wifi stops working altogether. It won't give me an IP address and the only solution is to clean reinstall OS. Which is getting very annoying.
    Additional Information:
    Within the first 60 days of having my mac, I had connectivity problems at a friend's house. Still covered by Applecare, they fixed my problem by renewing the DHCP lease and some other things that I can't remember.
    I took the MBP to a Genius Bar when the wifi completely went out and the only solution they had was to clean reinstall the OS. This involves completely wiping the harddrive and reinstalling, not reinstalling over top of what is already there.
    As you can imagine, I am extremely frustrated having to reinstall and restore my machine. I am wondering if these problems are preventable, fixable, or if my computer has a manufacturing problem that can be fixed under my warranty.
    Thank you for your help!

    Hey RJS568999,
    I found that if you can connect to your Wi-Fi router, but are having issues with webpages loading, sending or receiving email, etc., Apple recommends you use Wireless Diagnostics, included with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.4 and later.
    You can read more about it here:

  • WiFi connection problem testing

    I am also one of many having the intermittent WiFi connection problem at home.
    From a technical testing mode. Get the free the "FreePing" application by Marcel Lanz in the app store.
    What you will find is when you are having the internet connection problem, you can not ping your Router. However, you can ping any wired Mac or desktop computer on your router/switch network.
    This tells you, you are on the network, getting an IP address from the router DHCP server.
    The problem is not related to the Wi-Fi connection or connecting to the network (OSI Layer 2 model).
    It appears to be a problem at the OSI Network Layer 3. The router is having a problem in the routing table. The hard part is the Layer 3 problem can be either in the Touch or the router in this configuration. Meaning, the combination of both Touch and router is causing the problem. Thus, the intermittent operation.
    Yes, this is probably more technical than anyone here cares to know.

    Hi,
    You should be debugging the driver / contact the vendor. Seems like netrtwlanu is realtek based chipset.
    The abort points to this driver (at least the PC).

  • Wifi connection problem better with full battery

    I have a macbook air I bought in 2012  (1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 Gb memory) I know there are a lot of problems with other users complaining of wifi connecting problems. I have experienced the same problem but only when my battery charge is less than 98%. After my macbook has been on sleep for several hours, and has not been plugged in, the battery slowly drains and when I try to use it, it refuses to connect to any wifi connection. But as soon as I charge it up to 100% then it automatically connects, without having to restart it. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if there has been any other answers from Apple regarding a potential fix for this issue....

    Try this and it should reset your printer.  On the front panel press the * and the # key at the same time, then press 1,2,3 in that order on the touch screen touch the left arrow button twice which will take you to the reset menu then press ok.  Press the left arrow two more times and it should say "semi-full reset" press ok and this will be performed.  The printer should shut down and will have to be turned back on, it will ask you for your language and your country the printer should initialize itself and should print an alignment page. NOTE: any speed dial numbers will be lost when you perform the semi-full reset.

  • OSX Mavericks Wifi connection problem when system starts

    My macbook pro unable to connect to the preset wifi when system started, same whether starts and ready from sleep-mode, or previous shutdown mode.
    This starts to happen just several weeks recently.
    However, after restart the entire OSx, the connection (auto detect and connect) would be back to normal.
    What's wrong? and any idea to solve this problem? Restart the OS takes very long time, and I don't like to waste time everytime open the laptop.
    Please help. Thanks.

  • After Mavericks upgrade Macbook wifi stops searching for networks

    Ok here's the problem.
    Upgraded from Mtn Lion to Mavericks.
    I have 2 user accounts.  One for personal and one for work.
    Boot up - all is fine.   Switch from one user to the other the first time - all is fine.
    But once I switch back to either user the problem appears.
    What happens is that the computer stops searching for wifi networks.  If I click on the wifi indicator the only one shown will be the one that I'm connected to.  I am unable to select another network.  (there are several others in range but not shown)  The search indicator does not show up. If I click on Join another network and then on "select network" the dropdown box is empty and does not populate.
    If I log out and log back in then the wifi will search and show the networks again (on that user account)  If I swtich back to the other I would also need to log out and back in.   Logging in and out only resets the search function of the active user.
    Bottom line is once I switch from either user to the other AND THEN BACK TO THE ORIGINAL both users will no longer have wifi search function until you log out and back in on either user.
    I've reset SMC and PRAM.  I've reinstalled Mavericks
    I've contacted Apple for support and we've set up a new partition on the drive - installed Mavericks into that so it was like a brand new computer.  I then created 2 users on that account and STILL have the same issue when I switch between accounts (users)
    The Apple tech seems to think that we've eliminated software problems so it must be interference from nearby networks causing this.  It seems odd that this happened imediatley after the switch to mavericks.   I am going to take my computer for a ride today and bring my MiFi along and see what happens.
    Anyone having this issue?   Any thoughts?

  • WiFi connection problem with WRT120N

    Hello,
    I'm trying to configure the WiFi on a WRT120N (firmware 1.0.05), but I encountered several problems.
    The Internet routing is OK => no problem to have a RJ45 connection.
    But when I configured the WiFi, the problems begun...
    1) With a laptop Dell XP SP3 (about 6 years old, and working fine with other WiFi networks b/g WPA/WPA2), I can see the SSID, but it is not possible to connect (without security, or with WEP, WPA or WPA2).
    2) With 2 different desktops (XP SP3 and Vista SP1) and an USB adapter Linksys Wireless-G, I cannot see the SSID (but I can see other SSID in the neighbourhood).
    3) With an Alienware, no problem, I can immediately connect and surf (with or without encryption).
    Could you please help me to solve this problem ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Connect the computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
    Open the setup page of the router. Create a new wireless network.
    Click on the wireless tab and set the configuration view to manual.
    Keep the network mode on Mixed, change the SSID, standard channel to 11. Save the settings.
    Click on wireless security sub tab. Change the security mode to WPA personal and enter the password for the wireless network. Save the settings.
    Click on Wireless MAC filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
    Click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab. Change the beacon interval to 75, RTS threshold to 2307 and fragmentation threshold to 2306. Save the settings.
    Now try to connect to the wireless network. See if that works.
    if you are not able to see the SSID then try changing the wireless channel on the router.
    If that doesn't work then re-flash the firmware on your router. Download the latest firmware from Linksys website and save it on your computer. open the setup page of the router. Click on Administration tab and go to Firmware upgrade sub tab. Browse the firmware file that you have already downloaded and re-flash it on your router.
    After upgrading the firmware on the router, it is recommended that you should reset the router and reconfigure it. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 10 seconds. Power cycle the router and reconfigure it.

  • After mavericks upgrade unable to connect to printer

    After mavericks upgrade on one of my two 2013 iMac, when I try to print anything on my network printer and plotter I always obtain this message: "unable to connect to printer" than printer pause and got "pronto per la stampa" (ready to print in italian).
    I have a EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1290 A3 color inkjet printer and an HP designjet 500 plus 24 plotter connected to a Windows XP machine under a Windows XP network.
    Trying to print from the seconf 2013 iMac with OS X 10.8 (NON OS X 10.9 Maverocks upgraded) everything goes as usual ant printer works well as from other two Windows XP machine on the same Windows network.
    Then apparently the "unable to connect to printer" problem is up to OS X 10.9
    Any suggestion?

    THis helped me. Had to share this!
    Go to this link: http://macs.about.com/od/printersharing/ss/Printer-Sharing-Share-Your-Windows-7- Printer-With-Your-Mac_5.htm
    Things to Keep in mind and setup first if your Server which your printer is connected to is a Mac Desktop like mine, otherwise the above instructions will not work:
    1) Make sure to have firewall set either to "Off", but if "On" then make sure set to allow SMB, Printer Share, and other devices. Thats a Biggie! (I suggest you Test first that you're indeed able to connect first to your Mac desktop server using the smb://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local, or cifs://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local. If you're not able to connect to your servers hard drive from your Laptop, then the printer setup will not work! So resolve this first and make sure you can connect using the mentioned protocols.
    2) When you see that you're able to connect, then go to your printer setup and follow the above links suggestion. Just make sure that when you enter the ip address which it suggest, that its the same ip or location name of your mac server which your trying to connect to, ie... (YourServersFileSharingAddess.local/NameOfPrinterConnectedToServer). Keep in mind that it is case sensitive and that if you have spaced in the name of the printer, its better and easier to just rename it and cut it down to just one name...no spaces! But if you must have the spaces, then use %20 to fill those spaces, ie... "My Printer name" change to "My%20Printer%20name".
    Then watch the magic!

  • IOS 5 Wifi Connectivity Problem

    Ever since I upgrade my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 to IOS 5, including the recent update, my WiFi connectivity is considerably weaker in the same spots where I used to have full signal strength.  Many times it just disconnects randomly.  What's the problem?

    Good day,
    I'm having the same issue.... even before the upgrade. When I look into my wi-fi settings, I see a strong wi-fi signal. On the other hand, I don't have a check mark next to the designated wi-fi nor do I have a wi-fi icon on the upper left hand side! I did notice that the IP address Subnet would come up but, I'm not showing the router or DNS number....
    Prior to the upgrade, I was running with 4.3.3 and now I'm with 5.0....I was kinda hoping that this upgtade would eliminate the issue.....dammit! My wife's 4 has version 4.3.1 and it's working fantastic! Gotta love bugs!!!!!

  • Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

    I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity.  According to all the posts I'm not alone.  I love my new IMAC
    but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches.  It seems that Apple has lost interest in
    the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS. 

    Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
    So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?
