Q: 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.

 

Tom

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    When I rebooted after removing the five files, the new files were created.  Four of the files were the same as before , but com.apple.network.identification.plist was replaced with com.apple.eapolclient.configuration.plist.  The old com.apple.network.identification.plist network file could have been the culprit.  Since doing this I haven't lost my connection once!  Thanks so much for this valuable advice!

    Trying the first method. Previously tried the DNS one with no change.

    Its amazing to me that 8 months after launch, Yosemite is still broken.

     

    I had to work on an office laptop the other day, the employee uses Yosemite. It was very slow, but fully updated.

     

    Ran Speedtest with blutetooth off: 21-25mbps

    Ran Speedtest with bluetooth  on: 2-11mbps

     

    Yosemite is so broken that its own Bluetooth radio causes the wifi rates to drop over 50%. Come on Apple, is that what passes for QA now? It's been 8 months since launch.

    Saw your post and your post and ran Speed Test (TWC, NYC) with Bluetooth on:

     

    Down:     192

    Up:           21

     

    Running OS X 10.10.3 (14D130a)

    Try this:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.airport.bt.plist bluetoothCoexMgmt Hybrid

     

    Should do the trick, after a restart each time.

    Well given it a few days and it didn't help at all. Different router too... So either my iMac or the something about the network as a whole conflicting with my iMac. Grrr Sick of reporting this and hearing nothing from Apple. It's insulting. this is Samsung kind of behaviour. I know that from experience.!

    Well kids, OSX 10.10.3 is available today.  I'm on 10.10.1 and terrified to upgrade because currently my wifi actually works.  Would braver souls please report whether 10.10.3 resolves your wifi problems?

    Well it doesn't stop Bluetooth from reducing the wifi speed (by half in my case) but it does seem more stable

    have you tried forgetting the network and reconnecting to it?

    Switch off handoff/ continuity and see where you stand. We'll take it from there. iCloud seems problematic for some. But for most only while the syncing lasts.

    Remember, with Continuity on, every last scrap of your documents and drafts gets synced to iCloud under Yosemite. Maybe even to system overload.

    Be patient, as in elder days.

    So far 10.10.3 seems worse to me -- I have to killall -9 discoveryd constantly.  This actually feels like a further regression.

     

    I don't get as many disconnects, but that is completely offset by the number of times that I have to restart discoveryd.

     

    Same machine on the wired side of the same network with the same name service works just fine.  Apple, can we have mDNSresponder back now?
