Q: Mac not connecting to internet
Hi all,
I have a macbook pro that is working just fine with everything other then connecting to the internet on 1 network...
At home i run my ISP through an apple airport express router. The setup works fine for any device i connect to it, OTHER then my mac... My mac connects to the internet on other networks or when i tether through my iphone. Also, when i have my iphone, any guests who connect their phones, or my work windows laptop on the home network using the airport express, the internet works as well.
I run aiport utility and the where it says internet the circle is orange on my home network... I tried reseting the network still nothing...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you very much, any help is greatly appreciated!

I would recommend to join network automatically , location as automatic as compared to the settings in location as home or other . And keep DNS server settings 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 & make sure sure WPA2 personal AES as secured network is set , turn off proxy settings , create password for network . when click to advanced and click on wifi check the box remember network this computer has joined .
For modem provided by my service provider keep settings as automatic and check the box of firewall .
In air port utility , create a strong wireless network password , make sure block ipv6 , and the option as in screen shot as checked .
Some suggested articles : OS X El Capitan: Choose preferred wireless networks
: OS X El Capitan: Set advanced Wi-Fi options
Note : For guests they don't need password to login , if you are the administrator keep automatic login as off .
Thanks !
