Q: My macbook can't find home wifi

did you update to 10.10.5?

I just tried a reinstall of Yosemite i'll see how that goes. It does appear to be related to certain routers for some reason? But I have multiple devices that don't have any issues with the router so buying a new one is not a option. Also, I don't know the real problem so I may end up buying another router with the same problem.

Yep, and I still have the same issue unfortunately.

I've tried a complete reinstallation and I'm afraid it didn't change anything. I've just had a play around with my router settings (selected a specific channel rather than automatic) so will see if it changes anything.

Still having problems which means my Mac is a complete pain to use - any ideas as to what I do now? It's warranty expired in July (which was after I started having these problems), and I suspect if I go into the Apple Store they won't be particularly sympathetic. What are the chances that Apple will resolve this in a future update. They have effectively ruined my experience by releasing an update.

-Status bar

-Wifi icon

-Join Other Network

-Search the name of your network

Click show networks and wait until it finds yours. It might need a while.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. It works on my macbook. I kinda gave up honestly with my macbook wifi problem. 3months ago i couldnt connect it with any wifi not only home or specific wifi and i needed to bring it to apple store which cost me 200usd and waited couple days. Once this problem happened i was thinking how much money should i pay again regarding to almost same problem.

HI I tried this but what I think helped me get it working is the range of the DHCP

server started from 192.168.8.100 to 192.168.8.200 !

my laptop connected as .2 or .3 and so wasn't being "DHCP'd "

so changing the DHCP range from .2 to .100 etc fixed me up

hope this helps you - thanks guys

Correction . - my last line should read from .100 to .2  !

Thanks Nirmal. This worked for me on Mac Book Pro with Netgear router.
