wifi problem with yosemite 10.10.2

i still have wifi problem with yosemite 10.10.2. I use D-link Dir615. My ipad and iphone have no problem with this route. My Laptop ( rmpb 2013 early 15 inch ) has no problem with another router TP-Link. I'm just confused why it works so badly with my D-Link!!!!!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Also my Wifi issue isn't resolved with 10.10.2.

(It drops many-many times in a minute and keeps 'Looking for Networks...' while connected to my standard Wifi network)


ℹThe 10.10.1 seemed to had the same issue, but then I was able to resolve/fix it (after searching web solutions..) by resetting the SMC (see http://support.apple.com/nl-nl/HT3964)

Suddenly issue started again in 10.10.1 by end this week (end Jan'15 not sure why😕, maybe after a auto-install & restart ~29 Jan), so tried same SMC reset fix and now didn't work anymore....


So hoped 10.10.2 would resolve it, so upgraded it my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) also on 30 Jan'15. But it didn't fix the Wifi-issue 😠; also reset SMC doesn't resolve it this time✖.

(ℹwith Wifi dropping, Apple-store did see it would take days to download the many MB's, so directly connected with cable to a router and had it in ~7 min)


Anyone other ideas how to fix Wifi issue with 10.10.2 on my MacBook now?

Jan 31, 2015 2:27 AM in response to nwwkobe

As per 10.10.1 upgrade with Wifi issue (on my late 2011 MacBook Pro), then I resolved it after (several) SMC resets. Now that didn't seem to work after 10.10.2 upgrade, however it seems again that I resolved it.

What I did:

1. After upgrade, did several SMC resets without effect (as per found 10.10.1 Wifi fix);

2. Then MacBook shut-down, with shutting down the router (during a night);

3. Then (this morning) turning router on; and starting the MacBook and it seems the Wifi works again with 10.10.2.✅🙂

It could be a Wifi Fix for many others to try with 10.10.2 (or even with 10.10.1)?


Good luck and hope that next releases/upgrades of Apple works smoother.

(ℹ Also created an Support-ticket with Apple and was called back, but was already resolved now. ➕You can raise 'free' support tickets up to ~13 days after new upgrade release date, even if you've older hardware outside the support period.)

Same Wifi issue again with me (I assume also after the Remote Desktop Client Update; on 6 Jan). Again applied same fix (SMC reset + router restart) and seems to work on my MacBookPro, however hope this doesn't happen with every small system update..

Found something today maybe will be useful:


  1. On your Mac, open up your Terminal (this can be found under Utilities in Launchpad)
  2. Run the following command: killall discoveryd
  3. Then run the following 2 commands: sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
  4. and: sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist

People always seem to think that routers are perfect, that they conform to all standards, and that they couldn’t possibly be the cause of any network problems including WiFi. “Well, my router works okay with my PC but not my Mac so therefore the Mac is the problem.” That’s not necessarily true. Routers differ in price and quality, both hardware and firmware. Routers with good reputations receive firmware updates. The older a router is the more likely it is to have issues with modern hardware.


Your DIR-615 came out three years ago. Have you updated its firmware to keep current?

Jan 29, 2015 12:01 PM in response to nwwkobe

Funny thing is that my Wifi was working perfectly before I updated yesterday and now my Wifi says its connected but disconnects every 3-5 seconds from the ISP, Internet, and Server. This essentially makes the Internet completely unusable since my 2010 Macbook Pro doesn't have a Ethernet port. Apple needs to fix this ASAP but if anyone finds a fix, please share. I had to boot up into Kali Linux to even make this post. I can say that the problem is 100% with the Yosemite update and not a hardware issue since WiFi works perfectly in Linux. Very frustrating.

yea.. 10.10.2 didn't do any good for me either.. i think it's got even worse than before.. before i could use wifi and magic mouse at the same time, and having some occasional wifi issues..


now, i kind of have to choose between mouse and wifi.. if i use Magic mouse my wifi internet connection WILL disappear(eventually) or internet will be unbelievably slow..


my advice... if you still have not updated to 10.10.2, save your nerves and stick to what you have now.. maybe another "great" solution will come.. it's kind of choosing between two evils..sad..

Big wifi problem here too. Before 10.10.2 I had some problems with wifi... now I got a lot of problems! The wifi connection with my router works for just some seconds and then it stops working.

I'm trying to ping it and this is the output:

I clicked on the wifi icon on the menu bar and then…

I've discovered that, when there's no connection, if I click in the wifi icon on the menu bar, it reconnect and works for some seconds, then it drops again.


my hardware:

router: D-Link DSL-2640R

computer: iMac late 2013

PS: with iPhone, iPad, PC and another older iMac the connection works…

Update: I've partially and temporally resolved the problem with the shell script you can find at this page: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2014/10/22/os-x-yosemite-wi-fi-problems-can-you -help-us-solve-them/


It's simply check for network connection and when detect it's down it turn off and immediately back on the corresponding network interface. I've just changed the interface (en0 to en1) with the correct wifi interface on my iMac.


Apple... we're waiting!!!


PS: I can't turn bluetooth off because of my wifi keyboard and mouse!
