Thanks brother, Your solution worked for me like magic. My Macbook wasn't detecting my 5gz wifi, But thanks to your advice of editing location, it magically started detecting it. Thankyou
This video is really SUPER! My MacBook was not running its WiFi steadly. The issue with my Mac was this: I was using 2 pen drivers connected to the USB ports and have tried many alternatives but no success after all. After viewing this life saving video, I found that removing the 2 pen drivers the Wi-Fi access to the router came back to normal. So, if you have such an issue with no access to your W-Fi router (or slow access as well), just try removing your your pen driver (just disconnect it from the USB port). Thank you very much, Phil, from Make Tech Easier!!!!
Thank You very much for resolving the issue on my MacBook Pro. WiFi stopped working, your detailed instructions to reset the PRAM & SMC resolved the issue.
Dude you just saved me a trip to Apple and perhaps some money. If anyone keeps getting the invalid password response then try disconnecting all usb plugs and it might work. I tried everything else and of all the things this is what helped. Thanks man 💪
Sorry to say but none of those worked on mine High Sierra. My wifi is turned on but wont show available networks where there are a lot of networks available.
Just found this - a real life saver. My Mac was starting to run its WiFi really slowly which is not good as I have a video job interview this week! Thank you.
This was very informative thank you. My wifi disappeared after a recent update to Catalina. Network preferences will not let me add wifi. It just doesn't take. I can add or remove a VPN etc but once I click the create button nothing happens.
Thank you so much you saved me so much money I was about to go and buy a whole new mac book pro and then I found this video that save my mac. Your a legend 👏
Teh N00ob oh thanks but so did u shut it down and restart bc I have tried everything? Or did it go back to normal by itself bc mines been like this for 5 months 💀
Please inhave followed all your instructions to have a wi-fi on my mac. In the NETWORK pane, no wifi is displayed apart from Thunderbolt and Bluetooth. Please can you help me to fix this. Or can you recommend a mac OS compatible usb wireless adapter? Thank you very much.
I’m using a 2016 Mac I’ve tried all the steps and sometimes it connects to my WiFi and others it doesn’t but it has no problem on me tethering can you assist in any way?
Like mentioned in the vid, my WiFi doesn’t work because I have a dongle plugged in with an hdmi and Ethernet plugged into it. I need these things plugged in AND the WiFi. What is the solution besides just unplugging the dongle?
Actually... After a while, even that doesn't work anymore. So I've started trying to wrap some aluminum foil around the dongle plug to shield the antenna. Sometimes that solves the problem. Sometimes I have to fiddle with the foil. Soon Apple will come out with a $500 piece of foil tape to solve the issue...
really interesting video, i am facing issue that in one or two signal bars internet stop working in mac air 2015 with monetery os however on same location other devies works fine, can you please help in solving issue
Like and Subbed earned, you showed a second of how to restart SMC for desktops and I did that correctly and it fixed it thank you. If you are on desktop mac and your wifi is litterally not turning on or turning on for a literal milisecond and you trying to restart many times, add new interfaces or other methods. Do the steps on the screen at 3:41 this should fix your problem
Thanks for providing several ways to do it. Mine is still not working. I took it to Best Buy and they had no problem accessing WiFi. I took to work and I had no problem accessing WiFi. I am at a loss!
A really comprehensive video which is easy to follow. However, I have followed every possible solution and still the network will not stay connected. I recently had to have my MacBook Pro lid replaced. Ever since I have had problems but I cannot see how this could be connected?
Yeah it worked I had to reset my pram !!! My laptop was stuck like this for almost a year it was a waste literally thought I just had a broken laptop it was like owning an expensive brick but it’s working yay
My word.. who knew that my usb hub could be the problem! I've tried everything before this video but fortunately for me I stumbled upon this simple solution. After unplugging the usb hub... whalaaah... Bob's indeed your uncle :)
Hi thanks for your videos I wonder if you could help me I've purchase a 2nd hand nomad 27inch but there is no wifi icon and no wifi the person I purchased it from said he hadnused wifi on this Mac for the last 2 years now I'm using a ethernet cable and a win dongle works if I reset the iMac off a back up image the wifi symbol appears greyed out and then says no hardware I've tried all your methods but still to no avail Thank you for your time regards Ian
Hi Phil...the WiFi is not an option at all in the sidebar of the Network window.Strangely, I have High Sierra on a partition and WI FI works fine. It's just when using Monterey.
My wifi will not switch from status:off even when I click turn on wifi. I restart my Mac and it automatically connects to the wifi and I can use it for an hour but then the same thing happens again.
wtf, unpugging my usb hub stopped wifi from crashing down every other few seconds. never had this problem with it. I guess it's some power issue. thanks for this video !

I removed the plugged-in harddrive and it worked perfectly ✌️

The pram and vram worked for me! Thanks for saving my assignment that had to be submitted

Hi, thank you so much! You just saved my life. All of my type C devices where plugged in and that caused the wifi problem.
Wow, adding a location "Home" did it for me! Thanks!
Yeees the sleep wake tips worked beautifully thank you so much. Now I can finish homework on time✨

Thank you so much! I didn’t find a solution before watching your video!
I'm having an issue where I'm connected to the wifi but I cant access the internet, I have no restrictions on the mac
Same, how did you fix yours?
@@CJ-sz1pw apparently the issue was overuse of the internet
Teh N00ob how did u connect it again?
@@anniemations2495 it was apparently caused by an overuse?
Teh N00ob oh thanks but so did u shut it down and restart bc I have tried everything? Or did it go back to normal by itself bc mines been like this for 5 months 💀

you are a legend, wi fi hotspot not connecting, tried everything except unplug all usb c devices, bang, thanks
I’m using a 2016 Mac I’ve tried all the steps and sometimes it connects to my WiFi and others it doesn’t but it has no problem on me tethering can you assist in any way?
I am having the same issue. Were you able to find out how to fix this issue?
omg thank you so much 😭 i was literally almost gonna cry coz i've been trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with the wifi 😭
EVERYTHING FAILED EXCEPT THE LAST IDEA YOU HAD! THANKS!
Removed the USB cables. It worked.. thanks for the magic. Good job.
Like mentioned in the vid, my WiFi doesn’t work because I have a dongle plugged in with an hdmi and Ethernet plugged into it. I need these things plugged in AND the WiFi.
What is the solution besides just unplugging the dongle?
My solution was to unplug the dongles, connect to WiFi, then plug the dongles back in. The connection stayed solid.

Thank You So Much… 😊

If this doesnt work . Check if your date and time is correct
Hi I have an old a1186 Mac Pro . I’ve brought a new WiFi card , went to install it and theres no wires that should connect to it . I’ve got the bt wire which does the Bluetooth. I’ve turned it on abd it’s not coming up with any WiFi hotspots like my sky tv router ?
Can you help?
