[MacTUG] Yosemite and Wi-Fi issues

[Glenn Anderson]

I am not having any issues with Yosemite and Wi-Fi.

I can connect my iMac to both campus wi-fi networks ( uw-unsecured and eduroam ) with no issues/problems. If anything it seems to be faster than what I experienced with prior OS X versions, but then again maybe that has more to do with upgrades to the campus wi-fi and/or the number of other users connecting.

I also have had no problems at home with the one Mac there that has Yosemite on it. As I am using the latest Apple wireless routers, rather than a non-Apple one, so maybe it working shouldn’t be a surprise.

I do know two other people who are using Yosemite wirelessly without any problems. One has a prior model of the Apple wireless router, the other has a non-Apple router.

From scanning through comments on this, it sounds like in some of the cases might be due to the wireless route not properly supporting/working with Yosemite.

I’ve been having similar symptoms at home since I replaced my main desktop Core2Duo iMac with an i7 (mid 2011) - same issue with 10.8/10.9 and even Windows (it’s boot camped). Dual-radio AP (“Cisco” E4200), sometimes switching from 5GHz to 2.4 helps (but then so much interference), often turning wireless off and on again helps. Sometimes nothing helps at all. Meanwhile, my iPhone has little trouble, wife’s iPad same same, my Air is solid, and the old C2D machine is too.

I don’t know if it’s more “Yosemite has wireless issues” than “Apple wireless is kind of dodgy the last few years of hardware upgrades, and it’s affecting more and more people.”

Or maybe my own problems are completely unrelated to what he’s talking about.
