    👍 “Oh, WoW”. I took computer tech in skill center. I would have never thought of trying to connect to another WiFi Network. Then going back to my WiFi.
    1. Before I tried that. I kept trying to connect to my WiFi. And no connection.
    2. I reset Wireless network. That did nothing. Mac still not connecting.
    3. Updating Router. That did nothing. Mac still not connecting.
    4. Trying different network then going back to my network worked. Mac is now connected to WiFi.
    Thanks 👍 for making this Video. I was getting frustrated.

    Since my Macbook Pro has been overseas, it 'thinks' that it is itself overseas. Despite that I'm returned to Australia, local WiFi networks are now rejected because they're 'in Australia' ie. overseas. I'm suspecting hijack of the Captive Network Portal. Any suggestions?

    Question to everyone in the chat and channel creator. I have a friend who has the Mac Mini M1 and can connect to the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz but, cannot connect to 6Ghz. They can see the 6Ghz option but can't connect to it. The router and modem they have is WiFi 6, it's from Xfinity, the xFi Advanced Gateway (XB8) modem. Has anyone had this issue and if so, could someone please help? Thank you!

    When I use my 15 years old (OEM) Laptop running Linux Mint, I have to do the following: " H i t p o w e r b u t t o n " After boot I am online. Now Mac mini: I pay 700 to 1000 + a few hundred Euros only to go check list expeditions, "possible solutions" lists? Wifi was introduced September 27th 1997, Bluetooth Mai 7th 1998. This isn't "cutting-edge technology" anymore. People just...u s e i t...Perhaps Apple still uses transistors or vacuum tubes...?? Does Apple at least know what the problem is? I wanted to by a Mac mini M2 to transition to Apple. But given that the problem already existed with Intel Macs, persisted with the M1 chip as well as now the M2, this yells incompetence! What's going on??? I am seriously considering giving up and stay with Microsoft! I need fully functional wifi AND exceptionally good Bluetooth!
