Your network works fine for a while, typically between about 30 seconds and five minutes, and then fairly abruptly begins to suffer almost total traffic loss. The symptoms are varied, but the most commonly reported problem is pretty much what I’ve experienced since first rebooting into OS X 10.10 and going online wirelessly. Yosemite itself could have introduced a bug or your hardware might be affected by a reliability problem that simply didn’t show up before or some third-party software might be revealing a latent flaw. No-one seems to know what’s wrong, and without a scientific explanation it’s hard to know where to lay the blame. In fact, many of you will have updated already.īut even if you don’t have a Mac, or are sticking with the five-year-old Snow Leopard release (OS X 10.6) for legacy reasons, you may have seen or heard the growing disquiet about Yosemite and Wi-Fi. It is likely that Apple will issue more fixes with forthcoming software updates to OS X Yosemite, although there is currently no timetable as to when those updates might come.If you’re a Mac user, you’re probably thinking of updating to OS X 10.10, better known as Yosemite. In addition to Wi-Fi issues, other users are reporting problems with OS X Yosemite's Dark Mode on non-Retina displays, unstable Bluetooth connections, and high CPU utilization.Īpple has not issued an official statement on the reported users issues, although Apple support representatives have instructed users to remove excess preferred networks in the Network section of System Preferences and to reset the System Management Controller. However, there appears to be no general solution for users still having Wi-Fi issues.
One user even reported Wi-Fi issues with the iMac with Retina 5K Display and the newest Time Capsule networking device.Ĭurrently, some users are finding success with performing a clean install of Yosemite, running their routers in "Access Point" mode, switching their connection a 2.4 GHz band, or running a user-created script to restart OS X's Wi-Fi Monitor. Members of the MacRumors forums have also reported problems with Wi-Fi after updating to 10.10.1 even when using their computer in different areas.
The largest thread on Apple's support forums discussing the Wi-Fi problems in OS X Yosemite has grown to 1,120 replies with more users reporting issues with a number of Macs and a variety of router types. However, Computerworld reports that a number of users on Apple's support forums are still claiming to have issues with Wi-Fi even after updating to OS X 10.10.1, with some saying that they are still not able to connect at all while others note that their Wi-Fi has remained significantly slow. Yesterday, Apple released OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, which brought improved Wi-Fi reliability after a number of users reported connection issues with the new operating system.
