Q: Wifi stopped working on home network, works on neighbours network

Since a few days i suddenly can't connect to the internet on my home network with my MacBook Pro Late 2011 running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1, but when i connect to my neighbours network it works flawless. Nothing changed in my own network.

I have tried to delete the settings of my home network and set it back again. I also deleted the WIFI within my network settings and add a new one this had no result. When i use the "option" key on the wifi symbol it says internet: unreachable (in dutch) i do get a IP-address and the Router address. On my other computers (Windows based) there are no connection problems. My iPad and iPhone don't have any problems as well. It is only the macbook with this issue.

I do have a new Bluetooth 1.4 / Wifi chip (8 weeks ago but it worked perfectly and still does on my neighbours network), but if this was the problem i believe i would not be able to connect to the internet at all. When i connect to my neighbours network i can download any webpage or file very fast.

If there is anyone who knows a possible solutions i would love to hear this. Thank you in advance.

Hi drpiso,

Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the computer is the only device having trouble connecting only to your home network. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

You're not alone. WiFi connectivity is an ongoing issue with Yosemite since 10.10 and still in 10.10.1. I do know Apple engineers are aware of this. It's hit and miss for me too on a Retina MBP 13" late-2012. I haven't found any solid solution.

Thank you for your post... then i probably should wait until the next update. But its so weird because it worked for a long time but suddenly it stopped and there are no new devices added to the network.

For me, it doesn't matter how may devices are on my LAN, it's a intermittent bug in Yosemite that Apple needs to fix.
