Q: My 2013 MBP will not connect to password-protected wifi networks.
My 2013 MBP will not connect to any password-protected wifi. Networks that do not require passwords work fine.
While installing an update last week my computer crashed and rebooted before fully completing the update. When it rebooted the computer started as if no update was in progress. This may be related, although the issue did not begin until a few days later. Im currently running OS X 10.8.5
I've googled the issue and tried every tourbleshooting tip. I manually configured the DHCP, renewed the DHCP lease, used my MAC address as my Client ID, created a DNS server as 8.8.8.8. and deleted all networks from my preferred networks list. This is in addition to the obvious restarts and reboots of the wifi and my computer.
I also ran network diagnostics, but all it told me is that I was unable to connect.
The issue is definitely on my end since it is consistent across any password-protected wifi.
Any ideas what the issue might be? I would like to avoid a genius bar trip if at all possible.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
