[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1564054, member: 214663"] Yes I understand your issue nickyr. There are lots of extraneous variables involved with w-fi signal and I needed to ascertain as to whether your connection was actually hanging over the cliff but it appears to be sound, giving an SNR of 48db. It's always a good idea to check the pulse first;D and at least you know that everything else is stable. So there a number of things that you can try initially before you start digging inside. 1. Click the icon- turn wi-fi off- then turn it back on again 2. Do a reboot 3 Reset the router (unplug it from the mains and leave the capacitors to drain for half an hour or so) 4. Do an SMC reset which appertains to 'unusual system behaviour' like yours [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US]Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)[/url] 5. There is some advice on plists here [url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4149916[/url] but it concerns an aberration post-Mavericks install with regards to the presence of an exclamation mark on the icon. Apple hid the library a couple of upgrades ago so if you want to go this route eventually then hold the alt key down whilst clicking Go on the Finder menu bar. [/QUOTE]
