Wifi problem since 10.11.2

Hi,


I have some Wifi issues since I installed 10.11.2.

Before all work perfectly and since 10.11.2, my wifi always disconnect and the reconnect.


Do you have also new problems with Wifi? and maybe a solution?


Thanks

I too have the same exact problem. I even own this exact MBA model - Mid 2013. Used to have same problem on one of the betas of the initial El Capitan beta release, but it was quickly fixed.


But after upgrading to 10.11.2 my Wi-Fi connection at work keep reconnecting every couple of minutes. I've noticed it happens when opening too many links/apps at once. Wi-Fi at home works fine though (i have a Time Capsule), but it's just impossible to use my MBA at work now.


Tried EVERYTHING - reseting SCM/NVRAM, deleting config files, creating new network location, using 8.8.8.8 DNS and custom MTU, booting in safe mode, cleaning caches, etc. No luck. Even did a clean install of El Capitan (unfortunately, turns out it installs OS with the latest update) and restoring backup from Time Machine - the bug still exist.


I'm reluctant to do the clean install without restoring - it *****, because I will have to setup all the apps and accounts from the scratch, but i guess it is inevitable. Though something tells me this is a hardware/software combo bug and we have to wait for 10.11.3 to fix it.


Does anyone know - can I install 10.11.1 manually and then restore from the backup I have on Time Capsule? Or there are some changes already in backup that will require me to have 10.11.2?


Or does someone encounter the same bug and have a fix?

One thing you could check, when you delete your "Network Name" from within System Preferences/Network under the advanced button make sure you click "apply" when leaving - then open up Keychain Access and look to see if your network has actually been removed - if not select and delete. You should have had two which are normally in Local Items and System Keychains respectively. Donot create a fresh network yet but instead reboot, when you have logged in create a new network by looking for your WiFi and selecting making sure you choose any options regarding remembering/save in Keychains if available (can't remember what shows up from memory).

I' ve tried everything, my only solution was back to Mavericks and problem solve.

Before read your post, I was wondering if really the update to 10.11.2 will fix wifi problems like they promise, but now i see that they don't.


So i decided to stay with my Wifi working in Mavericks.

I have a Mac Mini Late 2012

Dec 15, 2015 9:27 AM in response to jfculat

I monitored my wifi with Wireless Diagnotics app:

and I have this in my system log:

and this in my wifi log:

when my wifi disconnect.

Maybe somebody can help
