Q: 2014 mac mini loosing internet connection

Hi, my relatively new mac mini with most current system suddenly started to loose it's internet connection. WiFi or wired makes no difference. It works for a bit then I get time outs, spinning balls and nothing works anymore. All other devices on the same wifi (iphone, ipad, macbook pro, chrom book, windows laptop, apple TV) work just fine, so it's not comcast or a modem issue.

 

I'm mostly connected with wifi, I moved wifi up in the priority list. I also deleted that particular wifi account and entered everything again, it's a comcast router with wifi built in. Nothing helps. If I run the network diagnostics all things come back with a green light, but even if I try to ping some site via terminal nothing happens. All other devices run great, but I need this compuer on the net. I might take it to the genius bar, but I can't bring my wifi with me, not sure how much that would help.

 

Any other ideas?

 

It started sporadically, just a hickup in a video file or a minute to refresh a page, I had comcast test everything too. Now - regardless of what browser I use) I mostly get nothing, if I'm lucky I get a connection for a couple minutes before it's over again. Wifi is connected, I did not change anything or install anything (though some things might have done so automatically) and I know nothing about networking, so I never touched any of those settings, since everything worked anyway.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, I can't work without internet on that machine :-(

 

Thanks!

Mac mini, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

    I see the problem, just no idea what the cause is... can you disable Airdrop & everything else in the Sharing Pref Pane for a test?

    under sharing nothing is on, airdrop is also not listed there, theres file, printer, some remote things, internet and bluetooth, but all are off. the airdrop part showed up because I tried to use it to move the text from the console over to this computer, but then internet worked again for a while and I could e-mail it to myself. I don't think I ever used airdrop before on that computer, just from iphone to ipad or something like that, a year or so ago.

    Can you change the Channel on your Router for a test?

    changed it twice now, to 11 and 10 (makes no difference what number, correct?) but still the same, works for a bit, then nothin.

     

    in console I see the occasional apsd: unrecognized leaf certificate, what ever that means.

     

    Should I try an airport extreme hardwired to the router? I'd rather not spend $200, but if it helps. Has some other nice features and I think a stronger wifi, which could be beneficial in my house.

     

    any other ideas? Lost of new errors in console and it's 4001 lines...

    No idea if they have anything to do with my problem though, most of it is a foreign language to me

    anyone?

     

    I'll be at the genius bar this morning, but somewhat doubt they can help in that short time slot I get.
