I’m in a prestigious holiday apartment. Two iPhones and a MacBook Air connect to the WiFi. But my MacBook Pro refuses. I’ve reset SMC, restarted MacBook, run diagnostics, deleted the old networks (I’ve been here before).
what next?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15
There’s several networks but as another respondent has noted it could be that the age of my MacBook (2012) means that it’s not any longer able to connect to a recent router. Ideally I need to access the router to check/change the channel settings. I shall try with the MacBook Air that is connected.
'ON' is not a common status.
connected? self-assigned IP address? cable unplugged?
and what is the rest? mine says "Connected"
and underneath says:
Wi-Fi is connected to Bennet-AlderAssociates_5G
and has the IP address 192.168.0.214.
How old is the MacBook Pro? I recently had a similar experience in a VRBO rental where newer iPads and iPhones connected fast but my 2012 Macbook Pro running Mojave did not. There were two networks, both shown as as wireless ac that my old Macbook Pro could not access.
However, when we found the router and moved the Mac closer, the two networks resolved to one running ac and a second running a/b/g/n/ac (per NetSpot). Once my old Macbook Pro connected to the second, I had no more issues regardless of where I was on the property.
system preferences > network > Wi-Fi...
what is the status?
your screenshot shows Network Name: "No Network selected"
when you click on that, are you offered any available networks that look promising?
WiFi on
Mine is 2012 too. I’ve tried connecting next to the router.
