Thread: 12" MacBook wifi issues

    12" MacBook wifi issues

    Anyone had problems with their wifi on the 12" MacBook? Seems to be a known problem but has anyone here got a fix that worked. There are several on the net but I'd rather hear from someone here. Basically the issue is intermittent loss of connection and / or slow page loading. The alternative is I throw the thing back to apple and find something else! 😤😤

    Thanks. I may take it back then and see if a replacement solves the problem!

    Who's your internet provider? I've heard stories of MacBooks not liking some routers such as BTs home hub. Something to do with the hub transmitting in two frequencies rather than one. There is a setting you can change on the routers settings page.

    None here on a sept 2015 model... what I did do though was add a different DNS in the network setting... try 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4
