What proof do you have it isn't? Is there a cell phone or another computer connected to a local WiFi network and your Mac isn't seeing it? If a cell phone is the cellular signal pickup off, and it is still able to browse the web on that network?


Did you enable the Mac's Airplane mode to make WiFi inaccessible?


Is the WiFi distributer within 5 feet of the computer? Overlapping waves of wireless too close to the source can cause a sphere where WiFi is not working too close to the WiFi station.
