Wifi Problems with Yosemite

When I upgraded to Yosemite for some reason my wifi was messing up. I would show that it was connected but when ever I would go onto safari and or something that needed wifi it would just load. It would not load anything on safari. The only way that I can get wifi is to restart my Mac Book Air. But it is not a guaranteed fix it cuts out all the time. But it says its connected I am confused and frustrated at this because I don't want to keep on restarting my computer. Please Help me.

How long have you been up

Have you rebooted or had to reconnect


Too many people are saying their method works, only to find it doesn't

Do not be to hasty


You may have to do that every time you re boot


Presently apple are saying there is no problem ???????????


Apple get this fixed. For the High Cost of Apple Products and mass profits The customer should not have to put up with these problems.

I've been up for several hours since I used the solution I posted. I can't remembereif I rebooted right after I did it but I haven't had to since, nor have I had to reconnect to wifi.


Believe me, this is the ONLY solution I could fiind that worked for me after two fulll days of trying virtually everything else posted except re-installing Maverick from Time Machine or re-installing Yosemite.


I agree I would prefer to have Apple fix this but meanwhile thought I'd let people know what worked for me.

Fi problems | Macworld

I did a clean installation on a mid-2012 MBPro and now WiFi loses connection to the internet each time the computer goes to sleep. I have to restart the whole Mac and then it is fine, but restarting each time I want to use WiFi is not exactly optimal!!

I Am using a time capsule, and have tried both frequencies.

My iPhone and iPad continue to work fine.

All was fine under Mavericks, but I did so much work on the clean install and re-installing all my software etc I am reluctant to revert. Hopefully there will be a fix VERY soon.

I upgraded to yosemeit last week and I have continually problems with my wifi connection: every 10 minutes seems to be disconnected: web sites do not upload, skype doesn't work, everything that depends on the internet connection simply doesn't work although apparently my computer (Macbook Air 2013) seems to be connected. I have to restart all the time the wifi connection in order to keep connected. Very annoying and disappointing. I hope that Apple is going to fix this issue quickly... It is really not excusable that such connection problems occur in the "most modern operating system of the world"... just a shame.

And a newly discovered problem to report:

On attempting to export a render from SketchUp, I keep getting a message from something called "Atos" requesting permission to debug. Regardless of whether I say yes or cancel, SketchUp crashes.


I was about to post the question as to why on a SketchUp forum, and to ask if thought it was an SU bug of some sort, but decided instead to Google the word Atos to see if I could find out what it was? Apparently, and I did not read the entire article, it is something connected to Apple's operating system, and so therefore there is now one other "fail" to add to the entire Yosemite nightmare.


Everyday my working on a Yosemite machine is making it increasingly impossible for me to make a living. If I say cancel, I mean cancel, I don't mean Oh please crash my programme!

I Also started to experience network disconnect since the previous operating system and called apple numerous times to change And tweet my airport base station, after cox service found no problem and sold me a new modem. Then Apple genius swapped out the airport base station and. Not much different.

i Aldo wondered if my Direct TV going into the airport and an ATT cell boaster could be causing the problem, but read a few weeks ago on my iPad that others are experiencing the same problem! This is outrageous! I tried some tweaking of the wifi settings and needed to call HP to re inject my wireless offce jet 8600 plus, several times. It's also possible this occurs more often than I notice as it's not for work. Disappointed Apple geniuses and support doesn't inform users

Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, I have problems with WiFi cutting out. It will happen at irregular times. I can temporarily remedy the problem by shutting off WiFi then turning it back on. I also have temporarily corrected the problem by re-booting. It predominately happens on my MacBook Pro since I use it at Starbucks with Starbucks Google WiFi. My iMac on my home WiFi network, with Yosemite, is stable.


Apple or others, please help since I have experienced annoying, time losing problems in this regard. Thanks.
