Wifi working on iPhone but not on Mac

Works fine on iPhone but can’t connect wifi on Mac Mini (2018) macOS Catalina V 10.15.1


I also shared password from iPhone.


I tried to ‘Renew DHCP Lease’ with no avail.


Thanks in advance.

USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 drives and devices are know to cause Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems for the later model Mac Mini models. If you have any high speed USB drives and devices connected to the Mac Mini, try ejecting and disconnecting them, then see if the Mac Mini can connect to the Wi-Fi.

If you have disconnected or do not have any high speed devices or drives connected to the Mac Mini?

Hello,


Let's try this, create a new user account on your Mac (you can delete it when we are done.) Once the new user account has been created then log out of your account and log in as the new user. If you are able to connect to Wi-Fi under the new user then there is a software conflict preventing Wi-Fi to connect under your primary user account. If it still does not work then most likely there is a hardware issue.
