OSX Yosemite Wifi issues

It's sad. I can confirm that yosemite 10.10.1 did not fix anything. Wifi does not work right after start just like 10.10

Moreover turning it off then back on does not help. Connection is lost a couple seconds later. Things just got worse.

AC wifi mode lasts less then 10 seconds.

Apple is a shop of poor lame programmers now. very sad

You and I both know that not to be true.

whats the matter with you...

There is a glitch yes. And such happens to the best. Its frustrating as heck YES... But IMO Apple is supplying us with fantastic software and hardware. Second to none. Comments like that aint gonna help no one. Why don't you create a report and send it to them. Help fix this instead of this.

I have a 2 new iMac 5Ks and they would drop the wifi connection after about 10-20 mins waking from sleep. Reconnect was very quick and would remain good for the duration.

I have upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and so far after 4 hours of fairly steady use it has been perfect. only time will tell, but so far so good.

There is a part of the software that has a glitch. Not all of it. If WiFI and Internet, to you, is everything 10.10 has to offer, then you are not even using 1% of what OS X is all about. Get a TV with Internet Connection. That would serve you better, I think

Internet/netowrk is a very important part of any modern machine.

iCloud, email, web browsing, iCloud drive, messaging, File Shares on servers in offices etc.etc.etc.

All of these are important, and require some form of network access, here we have wireless AC, and we cannot even use that.

So WIFI/networking is important to every aspect of utilizing a machine to its intended design.

Mavericks was the first OS which I experienced had issues with WIFI but only if run @ 2.4GHZ and only while BT was on. Switching 2 5GHZ would always fix the issue.

Not saying that on one had WIFI issues on 10.9 but the issues there are nothing compared to 10.10 which is a Tsunami where 10.9 is a creek.

Not saying it isn't - Not stating that I don't have problems with Network, I DO and I am every bit as frustrated as any of you.

But as much as I hate it, I take the time every day and report bugs, collect system diagnostics etc etc etc... to Apple - so that stuff like this can be fixed. So that the software I use get better. I don't get paid for that in any way. And I would love for such not to be necessary. But it is. I would also love for folks to be nice to each other, people not to bend perfectly working electronic devices out of sheer nothing-better-to-do-in-my-boring-life frustrations and no wars. But that isn't possible because we are humans, And humans have defects. A lot of them. So to expect a system written by humans with defects not to have defects is outright dumb.

Calling faceless programmers one doesnt even know by names and dreaming them dumb and unqualified just isn't going to get any of us no where. If we get our act together and file reports which ARE received gracefully by open minded developers, then we stand a chance to actually get somewhere.

Blowing up like crazies here on a public forum instead of directing the frustration towards constructive reporting is going to accomplish one thing only.... Wasting Time.

You have to understand human nature, there are a lot of angry people out there who rely on these machines to do their job.

Unfortunately for them they are not able to meet deadlines, have to explain to awkward clients what the problem is etc.

Of cause people are going to vent out, and I understand the whole aspect of bugs being in a system.

But the biggest problem has been is the silence from Apple regarding this, which has just angered people even more.

The WiFi dropping has been there for a while, and it's been catching more people as time and upgrades go on.

Perhaps some skipped a Mavericks upgrade and it appears for them with Yosemite, perhaps it is just caused by Yosemite for some, who knows?

This thread also shows that many different WiFi issues are being discussed under a general "my WiFi doesn't work under Yosemite" banner

If anyone with serious deadlines to meet and a lot of work to do for clients paying for it, upgrade to a new Operating System before double-checking that it is actually stable, by installing it onto a test-partition or conducting extensive research with a working internet connection, they are absolutely immature and irresponsible.

If a company releases a product, you expect it to do what it's supposed to do.

If a company were to release a product without conducting extensive research with a working internet connection, they are absolutely immature and irresponsible.

THis is is ridiculous. My wifi works one day and drops the next and I can't logon onto my network again having Yosemite loaded.

This has screwed up my backups which is connected to my NAS.

Come on Apple, sort it out.

True.. I'd say that most people claiming WIFI problems - if they click the WIFI icon in the menubar, would manifest that they have a valid WLAN connection.

The issue with 10.10 is different. But when people can't load a webpage and are using WIFI to connect to the web, they assume that WIFI is the cause. Again, in 10.10 WIFI is seldom lost while the ability to resolve to any address is.

I had trouble with Yosemite for a day and a half, but using fixes suggested in this post got me running again without issue. When I posted on that, I got jumped on for saying a solution worked, allegedly because I hadn't waited long enough to say so. Then I updated to the latest release yesterday and lost wifi again. Once again, working through solutions in this post got me running again. I've been tracking the thread since it first went up and I have to say that the venting is getting very old. Want to get through to Apple that you are frustrated? Call them. Want to help others use their wifi? Post your solutions if you find any. But please don't keep clogging this thread with your anger -- though understandable, it just creates a giant morass of comments for others who want to solve their problem to have to read through.

I expect MANY of the parts which it is supposed to do, NOT to work as intended.

That is what my experience has taught me.

I have yet to see an OS or App where each and every feature - work flawlessly. Pro Tools is the most stable app I have ever seen and used. But even that has about 10% bugs when released.

Yes - 100% agreed. I do not work for Apple but I am willing to bet everything I have that they HAVE conducted such tests.

Ask yourself, who stands to loose something here... Who is getting all the heat... Who is being ridiculed by online headlines "Yosemite, The World's Most Advanced Operating System -- Now WITHOUT WiFi and Internet"

Not you not I but Apple !
