Mavericks upgrade wifi problem exclamation mark

Upgraded to Mavericks last night. Since then, no internet connection. iMac connects to the right AP but shows an exclamation point.

Wifi was working before the install and the other Macs with previous versions of OS X are connecting fine with the same AP.

Anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks!

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011)

I am also having wifi issues, since I upgraded to Mavericks, the wifi connects for a few seconds and then disconnects for few seconds and then connects again for few seconds, it's a cycle. I am unable to get a continuous connection for even 10 straight seconds before it disconnects again. It is affecting all my downloads and video streaming. The problem is not with my router or internet connection because my sister's macbook (same early 2011) which is running mountain lion is not facing this issue. Apple needs to fix this ASAP. It's extremely annoying.

Same problem with wifi for me, shows it's connected with full signal but keeps dropping anyway ever 1-5 minutes. Tried everything I found on the forums but nothing seemed to help yet.

Noticed now though that if there is not constant traffic like some downloading the wifi works fine. But if I try to download some updates, stream something or similiar the wifi connection drops fast and I have to turn it off and on again to get it back up for few minutes.

Same was happening to me!


Have a mac book pro early 2011 with OSX Mountain Lion which worked fine when connecting wirelessly.


Upgraded to Maverick and had the ! mark issue and couldn't connect.


All I did to fix was move my AP router to a different location away from the windows, about 3 meters inside my office and Bingo!


All good so far.


My iphone 5c picks up the signal now too!


Hope it helps someone.
