Got to step 2 on the remove and re-add wifi. Removed wifi service, went to re-add, but your instructions are unclear, guessed that I was to add the name of my wifi service and now I have a status message that says my wifi service does not have an ip address and cannot connect to the internet. Nor can my mac find the network. Luckily i have clicked the revert button and undone these poor instructions.

Please review these instructions for users of os Lion for mbp version They are NOT helpful. I have the same problem When deleted the wifi could not connect it again saying no IP address for the wifi? Thank you Chris. I was trapped on an overnight layover in Narita Japan. Nearly six hours were spent googling and trying suggestions found with my iPhone.

But it was your great advice to remove and re-add the WiFi service that got my laptop back on the Internet during the rest of my 19 hour layover. I literally searched the internet for over an hour to figure out the problem with my mac. This website is the best! Thank you so much!!!!! You saved me time, money, and frustration!!! Thank you so much!!! Thanks, just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion and the Wifi dropouts started immediately. I did everything listed above and now the connection is solid — Over 5 hours so far with no dropouts. Thanks for posting this information. Thank you soooooo much!

Great article. Somehow that worked. I was about to throw this mac out the window. This is an excellent article, covers everything you need to know in a simple, concise manner. Get yourself a wifi analyser app on your phone, look to see which channel is the least crowded, and set your wifi router to that channel.

This is the only solution that worked for me. Wow… Your advice and tips actually worked. Wish you could help me set up my idiot stick speakers now. If only!

This can be done in a number of ways. The best, in my experience, has been using a proxy. In Apple Configurator 1. This allows you to have a proxy for HTTP traffic that is persistent across apps.

Each Wi-Fi network that you push to devices also has the ability to have a proxy associated as well. This is supported by pretty much every MDM solution, with screens similar to the following, which is how you do it in Apple Configurator. The above has I am all about layered defense, though.

Or if a proxy is not an option then having an alternative. Another way to disable access to certain sites is to outright disable Safari and use another browser. This can be done with most MDM solutions as well as using a profile. To see what this would look like using Apple Configurator, see the below profile. Now, once Safari has been disabled, you then need to provide a different browser. There are a number of third party browsers available on the App Store. Some provide enhanced features such as Flash integration while others remove features or restrict site access.
