OS X Yosemite released in October before Mac users started to complain of Wi-Fi problems with the new release. OS X 10.10.1 is currently in development and testing, but until then, what are you to do with Wi-Fi that isn't working right? Here's one possible fix until Apple works out the problems.</p> <!--break--> <p>Many users aren't having any Wi-Fi problems with Yosemite, but some are. And the problems are maddening. Wi-Fi connections drop, or spontaneously stop working. Word of one interim fix comes from reader Evan H. Katz, who recently talked with Apple's own tech support about the problems he's been having with Wi-Fi. The solution comes from modifying the Network system preferences.</p> <h2>To help stabilize Wi-Fi on Yosemite</h2> <ol><li>Click on the <strong></strong> menu.</li> <li>Select <strong>System Preferences...</strong></li> <li>Click on <strong>Network</strong>.</li> <li>Click the <strong>Advanced...</strong> button.</li> <li>Click the checkbox next to <strong>Change networks</strong>.</li> <li>Click the <strong>OK</strong> button.</li> <li>Click the <strong>Apply</strong> button.</li> <li>Close the Network system preference.</li> </ol><p><a href='

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28325"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
