MacBook Air Mid 2011 Wifi only next to the Airport Express

Hey everybody!

These days I have trouble with one of my MacBook Air. I plug a new as my girlfriend needs a job.

Anyway. I have updated to OS X El Capitan and struggle with the wifi. I made an appointment at the Genius Bar closest to you to solve the problems in the system.

As I had to download the OS X on my Mac Pro, I had a problem with the wifi these permissions switch and system information. If you scroll to the installation, there should be a list of installed software. In my case nothing.

After that the genius of Apple erased the disk and started the installation via ethernet with an Apple Server, I got a new version of OS X El Capitan on it. Everything appears fine (system information).

The Wifi worked perfectly in the store.

So, I got not any chance to try at home immediately. Today, I wanted to put the macbook for other facilities. I noticed that the wifi is extremely slow.

I deleted the cache (which does not yet exist). I have reset the starting power setting. I have reset my Airport express from Apple. I changed the DNS to google DNS (8.8.8.8./8.8.4.4.). I too turned off bluetooth.

All without any modification.

BUT if I'm right in front of the apple express (literally sitting on the router), the wifi works without any problem.

Please, I beg you! I have no idea what to do next. My other Mac Air and pro work perfectly. Any distance. (They have been disabled for testing). iPhone, iPad and Apple TV work fine.

I seem to have this problem with my MacBook, a model of early 2015. What I was told is that the Wi - Fi antenna is nested in the compartment of the screen, located on the edge, practising thus pressure deforms it. Because the body is made of aluminum, the body involuntarily also acts as an antenna, interfere with the Wi - Fi signal. Here are the two plausible reasons why sometimes the signal is lost or slows down, and it made perfect sense to me.

Maybe it's the issue here. If that's the case then I would attribute that to the misconception. I'm sure you can get it fixed, although I don't know how you would seeing that Apple seems to weld their new machines stop.

    I tried to upgrade to el Captain but did not to enough disk space to install it then stopped the download.

    However, I can find a way to find the download file to complete the installation.

    Thank you

    You will find your original download in the purchase page of the App Store. Will need you about 20 GB to download and install El Capitan. You will also need about 4 GB of RAM, so I suggest the RAM upgrade if you can. You can visit OWC to know what options allowing the upgrade of RAM and disk space since you really don't have enough.

  • no more WiFi which extends from the airport express and Time capsule

    I have no more WiFi which extends from the express airport and Time capsule.

    and once it worked...

    airportconfiguration-app also works, but the graphic display allows to have a straight white line. now, it's one interrupted...

    Your unbroken lines in airport show connections ethernet utility... broken lines show the wireless connections.

    So it depends on the extend method you used.

    I think at this moment, things are configured wrongly... for some strange reason things happens and elements on a stand-alone basis, return to a default mode.

    The best way to manage it is full factory reset on everything... and repeat the installation.

    I have no more WiFi which extends from the express airport and Time capsule.

    It seems to me that you extend a NON-APPLE router... in this case, your Apple routers must connect by ethernet and create a wireless network. Routers Apple cannot extend the NON-APPLE router wired.

    The express could extend the TC or visa versa... by wireless...

    Then I suggest say us what is the main router in the network?

    You have connected by ethernet to the TC or Express or both?

    If so please reset completely the two elements and try again. Make sure they are in bridge mode... It's the network tab. Router Mode is turned off.

    And your wireless tab is configured to create a wireless network...

    Use the same name (SSID) and even the security setting and the password as the main router to network roaming (extend wireless ethernet).

    If the Express and transport CANADA are the same, both will have this configuration... If the express extends to wireless then it should NOT be connected to all the way to ethernet... (sequel to wan side at least) and it will be set to expand wireless on the wireless tab.

    How can Hi I adjust the fans to market at a lower temperature Macbook Air mid-2009.

    I know that video playback makes the hot computer. I'd like set the fans to turn on at a temperature lower, without having to download a few app controll or software.

    Be well theres a way.

    Thank you

    No, sorry. The fan profile is pre-programmed and are not adjustable in OS X user. The only option would be to reset the system management controller, but which was designed to solve the fans 'stuck' at great speed among other things.

  • MacBook Air mid 2012 - SSD failure but now normal work?

    I have a macbook air mid-2012, it worked very well but had no veen used for about 2 months. I had installed osx el capitan and the car was completely empty except for the new facility. I start the computer normally, but after I tried to launch safari, computer froze and the screen went black, but the mouse was still there. I turn off the cpu using the power button, but when I rebooted I had the flashing icon. I tried to boot into recovery mode, wouldn't work not and went straight to the restoration of the internet. Using the internet recovery mode I tried to go and repair the hard drive, but it was not visible, I tried to install a new copy of Mac OS x, but it wasn't visible to install with HDD. I took the macbook air to an authorized repair center and the macbook started showing a circle with a bar slash through it like a Tux no sign, no flashing icon of the folder. They ran diagnostics and told that the DSS did not. The price of replacemwnt was more that the laptop was worth (almost $700)

    I went home upset, but now this morning I correct start-up of the laptop and he gave me a sign of Apple with a gray loading bar theb started normal. I weaves in disk utility to perform the audit of diagnosis on the ssd and it came back as everything was ok.

    What could happen? Why it quit working but now work ok? I need to give this phone a friend for a gift but cannot do so if the ssd will soon Miss. Should I jist cough a little money and get a replacement hard drive and install it myself because this ssd is going bad? Its a 256 GB ssd and it kills me...

    Thank you!

    It's only a guess, but there may be a connection that is defective and sometimes disconnect the SSD drive.

    Ciao.

  • How can I connect two screens for MacBook Air (mid-2012)

    I have a macbook air (mid-2012) which, according to apple, can support two external displays.  I have an external display connected to the thunderbolt port, but may not know how to connect to the other?  The mac has only a thunderbolt port?  It has two usb ports.  Is there a thunderbolt display port separator that works with this Apple?  When I look on amazon I see some who make the separation, but they say that they do not work with the Mac?  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!

    You can daisy chain a thunderbolt cable from the first screen to a second screen to support both with port of a sudden lightning. Reported here.

  • iPhone 6, connecting to the Airport Express wifi, blocking all the other wifi equipment.

    Hello

    My home wifi network, it's an Airport Express station. I then several other devices that connect to it - two AppleTV, two MacBooks, an iPad and iPhone two 6.

    I recently had to replace one of the iPhone 6 and every time the iPhone connects to wifi of the Airport Express - the connection made the deadlock on other devices. This forces me to turn off the phone's wifi and now I do the connections of the hanging of the other devices start to work.

    The new iPhone replacement to restore a backup to iCloud. I also then reset the network than the iPhone settings when I first noticed this wifi connection problem, but the problem persists.

    Thoughts on how to fix this?

    My solution, after two devices, and visits to the Apple Store Genius bar was to do a full reset of the device and do not restore from a backup.

    For the appliance swaps were probably not necessary had we done the software reset and restore from scratch first.

    Geniuses and I were not able to find the cause of the problem.

  • Can't play music on the AirPort Express to the iPhone 5 s.  Can of Macbook Pro

    Can play music through the AirPort Express using a Macbook Pro and Linksys 11879. Two iPhone 5 see the connection at the airport, but no music. How do we get music using the iPhones?

    Given that your MacBook Pro can broadcast to the Express, we know that AirPlay works.

    By 'See the connection at the airport' do you mean that the two iPhones can see that both the AirPlay icon in the control center AND can see the Express in its options?
