Q: OS X 10.9.5 Wi-Fi problems?

Hello!

I recently bought a MacBook Pro Retina and I have gotten the impression that OS X 10.9.5 has little Wi-Fi gaps, a short period of time where the computer can't connect to the internet. Just now this gap only fixed itself by turning Wi-Fi on and off. Is anybody else experiencing these problems?

Howdy evenwerk,

It sounds like you are losing internet connection intermitently, and the only way to get connected again is to turn your Wi-Fi off then back on. The next time that it happens, I would use the Wireless Diagnostics to help diagnose the issue.

I would also recommend taking a look at this article to help set up your router with the recommended Wi-Fi settings for Apple devices:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Hi Sterling,

Thank you for the reply! A few weeks ago I put back my old router instead of my modem and since then it works so much better. When that solution fails I will use your articles!
