Q: Yosemite Wi-Fi (WPA 2 Enterprise) Issues

I am running a 2014 Mac Book Pro (MBP) with Yosemite 10.10.1. My Wi-fi at work is WPS2 Enterprise. It continually cuts in and out. I've noticed that it seems to drop connectivity and then re-authenticate.

 

I have disabled the the default 'Wi-Fi' Service and created a new one with a different name - No Success

Renew the lease - Temp Success (Still cuts off)

Manually disconnecting and letting it re-authenticate again works BUT still dealing with random drops.

 

My co-worker sitting within 5 feet of me has same MBP but still on Mavericks with zero wi-fi issues at all.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

    Hello mcliffordgoo,

     

    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like only one computer is disconnecting from WiFi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

     

    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support

    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly

    • Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    • Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.

     

    Solution

    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.

    1. Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.

      If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.

      See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    2. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Have a nice day,

    Mario

    It only occurs on EAP-TTLS network at my office. I run WPA2 at home and there are no issue. 

     

    I did not have this issue when I was running Mavericks. My co-worker will not upgrade his MBP from Mavericks due to the internet issues.

     

    Any thoughts?
