OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 Wifi Problem

I have an early 2011 macbook pro (2G Hz intel core i7, 4gb memory, 500gb ram) I am having wifi problems with. I'm currently using Yosemite 10.10.5 as my operating system. If my wifi happens to connect after I restart my mac, it only lasts a little over a minute. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to permanently fix this problem?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

sudo ifconfig awdl0 does not work for me...


I have the feeling something is not right in 10.10.5. Here is what I get in Wireless diagnostics monitor. Since 10.10.5 (or better some days after upgrading) I need a much stronger signal than before to have an acceptable connection. I used this MBP mid 2012 non-retina for almost 2,5 years basically in the same environments and now it is not working anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to your performance graph, you signal quality form your WiFi router is lousy. And your noise levels are up.


RSSI Signal quality in the -80's approaching the -90's is almost no signal at all. And when the noise is stronger than the RSSI signal, that is no good.


Do you have another Mac that you can measure signal quality to see if it is just your 1 Mac or if it is common such as your home network setup.


Keep in mind that radio signals have to exist in a world where other signals can affect them. Things that are out of your control, such as neighbors and what they add or remove from their networking equipment.
