wifi only works with Chrome
Hi
Like many other users I experience wifi problems after upgrading to Mavericks.
I have tried all the recommended 'solutions' - delete configuration files, create new location, reset PRAM...
(see e.g Eric Root's sugegstions here. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5523321?answerId=23750527022#23750527022).
Some things work sometimes, but so far I have found no lasting fix.
But here is the thing: While most apps, including Safari, the App store and other native apps, Spotify etc. can't connect to the internet, Google Chrome can!
Running the wifi diagnostic when all except Chrome can't connect, I am sometimes told the internet connection is OK, which it is... but not.
In short:
I can always log in to my home router as admin and change settings (in any browser), but not connect to the internet unless I use the Chrome browser.
On other networks I either get instant access, or sometimes have to create a new location and reconnect (where it always worked before).
I read somewhere that Mavericks has a cache system (or similar) to prevent network spoofing, and this might be the cause. Can anyone confirm this? And if so, how do I disable it for my homenetwork?
As a temporary 'solution' I have bought a network adapter (thunderbolt), but it kind of defeats the purpose of a Macbook Air...
All helpfull suggestions not already covered are most welcome.
