Why will my Mac connect to my schools wifi but I can’t use the internet? It work for everyone else’ devices including my iPhone but not my MacBook. I’ve tried everything to fix it and nothing works.

Try this. Go to system preferences Network. In the left pane make sure to click on the WIFI. Go to advanced. Now click on the school wifi network and delete it. Now click the + and then click show networks and find school network in list. click on it and join. Might have to go to top desktop menu and click on Wifi and select the school network. In case there are other networks in the area. You can also check wireless diagnostics by holding down the option key and clicking on the wifi icon.

You should be able to go to the top right menu and click on WIFI. pick your schools network and join. If if requires a password add it. Or use join other networks. In this case you need to know the name, incryption WPA or whatever and password.

When you deleted the school WIFI from your network in system preferences, were you able to re-add it? Are you comfortable using terminal? I have some terminal commands that will check/in-able wifi.

This is what’s it’s doing now.
There isn’t a password. Everyone else in my classes have no issues with it, a majority of them use apple computers.
That didn’t work either so I am running a diagnostic test and it’s being sent in to apple so they can try to fix it. Thank you for the help!
