Wi-Fi- How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity


1. From Menu bar, Go|Computer|Macintosh HD

2. Library|Preferences

3. System Configuration

4. Hold down Ctrl and click on Preferences

5. Get Info

6. In Name & Extension box, add .old to System Configuration file.

7. Shut down system & remove power lead.

8. Hold down power button for 15 seconds.

9. Reconnect power and turn on.


System will create a new SysConfig file without the corruption which may have caused the WiFi problems.
