I eagerly await a true fix to 10.10's issues with dropping wifi connections. Both Macbooks in my house running 10.10 drop the wifi connection at least 5x/day, often more. My other devices do not experience these drops, and these same machines were just fine on 10.9.
My opinion of Apple's software quality has decreased over the past few months.
- intopieces 12y agoWhich Macbooks do you have? This hasn't happened to me, but I'd like to know if it might.
- engi_nerd 12y agoI have an early 2011 17" Macbook Pro (8,3). My wife has an early 2009 13" Macbook Pro.
- visarga 12y agoMy 10.10 used to crash after every VNC session ended. There was no info on Google about this, but there were hundreds of other bugs, seems like everyone has adopted one.
- eridius 12y agoAny chance those two MacBooks are connected to a different wifi basestation than your other devices? I have an issue right now where the base station in my living room regularly drops connections (to any devices) but all the other base stations work just fine.
- engi_nerd 12y agoA bit late in seeing this -- but no, I only operate one base station (Netgear AC1900).
- xtreme 12y agoI believe it has something to do with automatic selection of the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band. Unfortunately, Apple does not provide any API to control which band is selected.
- engi_nerd 12y agoMy router runs the 5G band via a separate SSID -- you must explicitly choose to connect to it. That's a standard approach for Netgear routers.
