Yosemite 10.10.1 update did not fix my wifi issue, did it fix yours??

You insist on posting in the wrong place and then ask if anybody hears you? Other Apple users hear you but we can't help you.

If you want Apple to hear you use the method provided for supplying feedback to Apple. Then you will be heard.

DDon't be so fing rude!

99% of use have been sending feedback to Apple since well before this Saga as have I and we still have all of the problems despite trying all of the solutions suggested on this thread so don't come the big I AM here!

You are the one who is cursing.

Clearly we have different standards for 'rudeness'.

Good luck with your complaint.

I also updated to 10.10.1 And I have not been able to stay on wifi since! It holds about 2 minutes and drops. I spent 2 hours on the phone with apple care and then also went into the store for a genius appt. I'm told it is a software issue! It is such a problem I'm going back today to restore my computer to an earlier date! I will lose the last 2 weeks but anything is better than this situation. It has made it virtually impossible to work online. I have taken off all the auto updates on all my devices and will never again update until it is out, up and WORKING! Now I guess we sit and wait...days, ??

I found an answer in OSXDaily newsletter.

I network settings creat a new Location label at the top of the page , my Location was set to 'automatic'. I created a new Location called yosemite. Then set the Network Name to the one you wish to keep, mine was a BT Network name. Click 'apply' at bottom of page. Reboot the computer.

My computer has not lost the wifi connection yet and I hope that means the problem is fixed.

I will try this tonight.

Though I have noticed a pattern my wifi sid is both 2.4ghz and 5ghz it maybe that os switches between 5 and 2.4 then loses connection, I am not sure. Since I increased power to 5ghz radio it seems a bit more stable.

Anyway we are at mercy of apple at this point, gotta wait till next patch.

Yep - painful. No fix here either.

I am responsible for a couple dozen macbooks. four have been upgraded to Yosemite and have constant wifi problems. The remaining ones still on Mavericks have no problems at all. Same hardware, same WiFi networks, same interference environment, same software running, same business processes that the machines are being used for.

ONLY difference - Yosemite vs Mavericks. Problems all with Yosemite, and absent with Mavericks.

Besides, the several hundred Dell laptops work fine on this same WiFi network, as do iPhones, Androids, Blackberries, RF Scanners, IP Cameras, and a host of other stuff. Out of the whole pile of several hundred systems, the ONLY machines regularly dropping off the network are the Macbooks running Yosemite.

10.10.1 didn't fix the problems for me, although it seems having improved the situation.

What I found is that if I'm close to an access point with strong signal strengths everything works fine. When I'm in the middle of multiple (same SSID) access points the connectivity becomes unstable. Sometimes it appears to reconnect elsewhere successfully (improved from .0 to .1) but sometimes it still confuses itself completely and drops connectivity altogether. Once I disable/re-enable WiFi I successfully reconnect immediately.

So far also with .1 the question is not whether I lose connectivity, only when (and the up-time improved).

Yosemite 10.10 didn't cause me problems with wifi. The 10.10.1 version caused the intermittent problem with wifi.

Due a problem to reinstall an app (AverTV iPro HD /digital TV receiver) - GateKeeper Vs uncertified app by App Store, I restored the system (Time Machine) and solved both problems. I'm Afraid to upgrade 10.10.1 version again. (iMac 27 inch, mid 2010).

Exact same problem here. Once I've updated to 10.10.1 is when i have those occasional wifi problems; it was working fine prior to 10.10.1

Me too

Mine is even getting worse. The machine is barely usable anymore.

Restore your backup

Since my post of 20th, when my WiFi connection was so much better after this: Create a New Network Location & Reboot, I would say it has been 5 days now and…

Well - the problems are not solved entirely. WiFi still drops, perhaps a little less than before I did this reboot thing.

But to anyone who says it is interference, I am in a new location today - and it KEEPS DROPPING. So, it is quite obviously Yosemite. Apple, Apple, I am so sad.

No worse but there again no better
