[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1879389, member: 396914"] Lisa, I know that it was suggested. But he never reported back that he had tried it, that I could find. I still think it's the router not assigning an IP through DHCP. Good question about the WiFi, but it may be that he wants the higher speeds available through Ethernet. I have both turned on on my MBP because I want the speed but also want to use my Apple Watch to unlock and that unlocking takes both WiFi and BT to perform. The next thing I would suggest is setting the DHCP server on the "home" location, if that is what he will use, to the router directly, 192.168.0.1, and see if that works. It could be that there are conflicting addresses in the network somehow that might be contributing. I don't think it's the Mac, although it can't be ruled out. Just ver unlikely. [/QUOTE]
