Man I dont know how to thank you, am using a mid 2014 macbook air and this solved my problem. My Macbook was constantly disconnecting after every minute especially while streaming videos or using youtube. I tried different solutions from different youtubers but this was the only solution that actually worked. Thanks so much.
Thank you buddy! After being troubled by this networking issue for far too long with many attempts to fix it without much help, trying my luck searching in UA-cam today and who might have thought there’s this great video with a result that totally works! Thanks a lot!
On my MacBook Pro 2009, I recently lost my WiFi connectivity. The wi-fi icon is blacked out and displays "Wi-Fi: No hardware installed". So, in the Network panel, the WiFi is not even getting listed. I have tried all the commonly recommended tricks (restart, shut down, remove plist files from Preferences, etc.). The odd thing I notice is, the hardware is fine unlike what the message says, which I can pull from the System report. Also sometimes when I shut the Mac down for a day/overnight, and when rebooted, the WiFi just comes back up and all seem to work well. A few hours later, this issue comes back again. Any guidance greatly appreciated.
My Mac has no up address and won’t connect to the router. No other devices have this issue. Although randomly it sometimes works. If I reset the router that sometimes works. But i just want it to connect without a whole hoohar. I tried your steps but no luck please help
on my macbook pro it says wifi no hardware installed. Could the steps you show on this video help me set wifi to work? it only works if I connect through ethernet. I tried calling your phone number but it says it is not in service. I need your help? What would you suggest? Thanks!
+Habiiber Gaming I actually did thank you. After so much frustration I've tried everything including the video suggestions, and it up taking the MacBook to the Apple Store and I believe they had to replace the air card or something like that. But all is good now once in a while I'll get a drop but I don't think it has to do with any of the components of the MacBook, maybe I have a suckish Internet connection.
Hey Andrew after typing automatic like you said, I clicked on Network Name & still no networks appear, so I typed in my wifi name & password. It says "connection timeout" please help, thank you. I have a early 08 MacBook Pro by the way.
i have been connecting to an xfinity hotspot. But when i connect it says "Wifi has self assigned ip address and will not be able to connect to the internet". It does connect to other routers but not this hotspot. so i was wondering would the above method solve this issue? thanks.
HI I tried everything that you did but when I am turning on the airport the message is coming is saying if I turn my airport on the I will lost my changes I clicked on apply , not apply and cancel and always erase all the progress done
can u help me, i have a huge problem,i just put internet home with distributel and they thold there service not coming with a router,so i bought myself a d-link N-601 and did every single step they thold me to do but again my wifi wont work,they wont allowed to created a name and password so i dont know what to do, i try to called the compagny and even them said they dont help people no more like wtf....
Wow. This worked perfectly. 2018, using a late-2007 macbook pro (still, I know). Symptoms were that my wifi stopped working... then started working again and then several hours later, stopped again. Scanning for networks worked, but not connection. Deleting those preference files did the trick. Huge relief I didn't have to go rooting around looking for disconnected cables.
Hi Andrew I had a problem contacting to internet through my Thunderbolt so I watched a video which told me to delete the thunderbolt bridge setting and added again. After I deleted the bridge status for the Thunderbolt I cannot activate it again. I went to systems preferences then network and tried activating the Thunderbolt but no luck. Do you think you may have a solution for me. Thanks
Hi Andrew, following your directions, everything went well, upto the point I reached inadvance settings TCP/IP Router : came out as 192.168.0.1 which is different from what you have, and you said to contact you! can you help
when I turn my airport on in network settings it says that the airport has the self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet, what do I do?
Good afternoon Andrew my safari just won't open at all even though I'm able to look at my emails when mac prompts me that I have a message..... I've looked at the DNS server and the number is the same as yours however there is a very long row of letters and numbers underneath! Do you know what this could be? Thank you
On my DNS serves, I had two rows. First was 8.8.8.8 and the second was 8.8.4.4 I tried adding using my router number but it didn't work. Can you please help me? :'( Thank you so much in advance. :D
I don't have airport card on my network . I'm so insane how to install an airport card. Need to install airport card. How to install? Anyone can help me 😢😢
Andrew Jones i can told u what i did this is what i did because the wi fi wasent working: system preferencesnetworkon the list at the left I click Wi Fi and - (delete) and now i click + and i cant find wi fi in there there the only options i have on interface is: Firewire, Ethernet, Bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE, 6 to4please help
How come my ethernet is shown as connected but I'm not connected at all, can't open a website, can't check my email box and so on... How is that possible? 😓😞
If you are going to follow along and replicate the actions in this video, please make sure to watch both file 1 and 2 before doing so as during the process you will lose Internet connectivity and you may get stuck not knowing what to do next.
Thank you for the video Andrew, but after deleting the files when I go to connect to my wiffi, I enter the password and I get the error:" connection time expired" Am I doing a ything wrong? Im starting to get desperate. Many thanks in advance. And congrats for the yt channel!
you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me.
Please help my my dns is 213.46.228.192 and 62.179.104.196 and sometiimes i have internet only most of the time not and AT&T my work it works perfect. And my otter machines works perfectly to Gr. Karim
@@artisticbrit Possible....I realised it Years after i bought it.....Could be a refurbished product ..and i get fooled by the official shop. ....Thanks anyway...i ll go for USB wifi....
I HATE I even bought an APPLE MacBook pro. It's too complicated. I NEVER had do many issues until I switched to an apple. I want another computer. And I advised those to not get an apple. SMH. It's NOT what it cracked up to be.
I love my Apple MacBookPro laptop, my son gave me because his fingers too big for the keys, LOL Going to buy a newer Apple next year, I have all Apple products, before this laptop I had an Alien laptop used for gaming, paid $2,000 for it but Apple is great for me, I think you have to get use to their products.

I'm not sure. That could be your router, but I'm not a specialist. It's been many years since I did this stuff to be honest.
I don't have any DNS Servers and Router, and the status of my wifi is "will not be able to connect to the internet" can you help me?:(
Hello, old vid I know, but can you help me with obtaining the DNS... I don't have one after your steps, thanks.
First show airport as a option after I press done, please help
Sorry, I am no longer a Mac tech, this video is so old, though it seems to have helped many
when I turn my airport on in network settings it says that the airport has the self assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet, what do I do?

That means you are connected to the router, but the router is not connecting to the Internet.
If you are going to follow along and replicate the actions in this video, please make sure to watch both file 1 and 2 before doing so as during the process you will lose Internet connectivity and you may get stuck not knowing what to do next.
I just didn't get any Airport option 😣
