Hello,
My Macbook Pro is constantly looking for wifi all the time. Got any ideas how to fix this? There are times when I can get online until I turn off wifi and turn it back on.

Thanks,

A solution at last!
I have this same problem on a new MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4
Wifi says it is connected and the diagnostics show that it is working fine but the status indicator drop down says it is "Looking for Networks" every 5 seconds. Trying to work remotely is a nightmare since I was constantly being tossed out. It was not my router, since my iPad has no problem connecting and staying connected. This had nothing to do with waking from sleep, since it occurs after a hard reboot. Turning bluetooth off had no impact. I finally found a fix on another thread (thank you LindsayfromLondon) that seems to be working.
Go to system preferences>network and switch off the "show wifi status in menu bar" then click it back on.
Took me hours of searching to find this solution. Hope this helps someone else.
thanks
Apple tech support told me today that cycling between WIFI: LOOKING FOR NETWORK and WIFI:ON is normal behaviour.
Such simple resolution. Thank you Captain Fabulous.
Didn't work for my imac running El Capitan 10.11 but thanks for trying, all.
Worked for me. Been driving me nuts for months. Thank you Captain Fabulous. 😎
I tried but it appears to be not working for me as well.
Am'I missing anything here?
I found that just unchecking the "show wi-fi status in menu bar" worked for me.
Did you then turn it back on? I will try this when I get home tonight.
That's not working...
