OSX Yosemite Wifi issues

Hi there,


I upgraded my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (mid 2014 revision) to OS X Yosemite last night and am now having issues when using my home WiFi connection. Whilst it connects to either the 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz network, it is basically unusable. Web pages take minutes to load (if they even load at all), dropbox doesn't sync because it can't get a connection and even trying to get to the router config page is extremely slow and hit/miss.


Tethering to my iPhone seems to work ok, as does using my home network via wired ethernet.


Are any others having problems with Yosemite? Wifi was working fine on Mavericks.

Hi,

I am having similar issues with Yosemite and Mac mini 2014 - experiencing random slow downs on 2.4GHz or 5GHz. I have dual band Asus router N66U - its a stable router, so it is not the issue here.

The connection starts to slow down few minutes after the boot up.

For me the solution is: disabling wifi (the menu bar) and re-enabling wifi makes the WAN connection stable.


Other solutions (removing network preferences, etc.) did not worked for me. I have no clue whats is going.
