[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1694658, member: 234411"] [B]Re-opened thread - same issue but now on El Capitan?[/B] On my MBPro now w/ the newest OS X, I opened AirPort Utility (AU) and saw the same warning shown in my OP a year ago, i.e. my laptop has 'lost contact' w/ my router - checked AU on my iPad Air 2 and both lights are green; also, checked my cabled iMac and all is fine - the router's green light is lit - rebooted the modem & router and the MBPro found the router - this morning same issue on the laptop (all else the same) - this time I turned Wi-Fi off on the MBPro and then on - AU showed two green lights. I cannot imagine others are not observing this issue, but I could understand if AU is rarely opened - ;) Interestingly, the internet is still functioning even w/ the router somewhere out there in cyberspace according to my laptop's app - I also did a DHCP lease renewal once which helped. I suspect this is some 'buggy' OS X problem related to Wi-Fi - iOS does not seem to have this issue. SO, any similar experiences and/or thoughts - I probably should just stop opening the AU on my laptop unless the internet is not working! Dave :) [/QUOTE]
