Check in System Information applet in Utilities of the Applications folder


Scroll down to Network Category in Sidebar


Scroll down to WIFI


What is it reporting ?


Is there an Exclamation more on the right ?


If yes, the Wifi component on the computer may have failed and the computer may need servicing by Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Centre


An Aside to current issue

Suggest being very careful about this.


Some suggestions can be incorrect, misinformed , incomplete, impossible to do. and out right wrong .
