Q: Wifi not connecting properly?

My internet provider recently installed a new modem and ever since I am having problems connecting my MacBook Air to the new wifi network. it sometimes will not find the network at all, or it can take minutes to do so. This was never an issue on the old modem so i am wondering if there is a setting I need to change?

The network is working fine on my iMac and eventually, once connected, works fine on the Air, it just takes forever to find the network. anyone have any ideas?

thanks!

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

HI ..

Might be corrupted network preferences due to the new modem.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

Type or copy paste the following:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.

Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.
