[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1674414, member: 307555"] I can suggest upgrading to 10.10. 5 - which just came out. I don't think there is anything in the update that addresses wifi as that supposedly was fixed for everyone in 10.10.4 - but it can't hurt to download the [URL="https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1832?locale=en_US"]10.10.5 combo[/URL] and let it install. Also make sure in your System Preferences - > Network -> Advanced ->TCP/IP tab - that in the Configure IPv4 box "Using DHCP" is selected and Configure IPv6 is set to "Automatically" (Unless you are assigning IP addresses for some reason.) It won't affect range but it can't hurt. You might try logging in under a different user to see if it occurs under different accounts. It is a long shot but for troubleshooting purposes it can't hurt to be sure it isn't some weird account issue. My next idea would be a failing wifi card. By chance do you have apple care? And do you live close to an apple store? Apple stores will diagnose for free. If you don't have apple care,[URL="https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Retina+Display+Mid+2012+AirPort+Board+Replacement/9707"] iFixit.com[/URL] can show you how to replace your airport card.
