Wifi Timeout

Time out error on brandnew MBP. Can't connect tonetwork to update system


I checked:

1. operating mode is same as router - ok

2. Wifi in visible mode is detected by MBP -ok

3. MBP is correct registered in router list of connected devices - ok

4. MAC address is correct listed in router - ok

5. Problem occurs also with WiFi in open mode -confirmed

6. Connect of unregistered Windows devices works fine - ok

7. IPad / Iphone connect works only if Wifi is in visible mode (only required for Apple devices)

8. No other networks overlap the wifi - ok


It's only this MBP what makes trouble,

I did some searches and found tons of similar cases but strategy what to do?

One common advice is to shut down, to wait and then try again.... Or it is stated that this happen randomly...

I even found a solution from affected user that he switch back to old device in periods whennthis happen on his newer Mac.


Anything what can be done?


Many thanks for assistance!

First contact your ISP. You need to confirm that the issue is not on their end.



Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.


Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.


System Preferences/Internet & Network/Network

Unlock the padlock

Locations: Automatic

Highlight Airport

Click the Assist Me button

In the popup window click the Diagnostic button.


System Preferences/Network- Unlock padlock. Highlight Airport. Network Name-select your name. Click on the Advanced button. Airport/Preferred Networks-delete all that is not your network.

Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined." Click the OK button and lock the padlock. Restart your computer.

No internet connection (wireless)

Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).

Delete all extra entries that you find.

Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."

If using one of Apple's Airport routers, read its user manual or post in its forum area. If using a 3rd party router, read its user manual, contact their tech support department/website or post in its forum area.
