    Specs are i7 , 8 GB memory. Verison 10.10.2, OSX Yosemite.

    other laptops / MACs work about 15 - 20 ft. from WiFi Router , but this one does,nt.

    It worked previously, and also has range issues using other networks ...could it be automatic updates etc ...


    Don,t know much about MACs, so would appreciate any help on this

    Has it had any hardware alterations recently ? Screen replaced, hard disk, RAM etc ? Did the problem start suddenly or over time ?

    On the top right of the screen you should see the WiFi symbol, Press and hold the "alt" key then click this symbol and you should see more details on the WiFi connection including TX Rate and PHY Mode. Maybe take a screen grab and post it here and we can see what the issue might be.
