10.13.5 Wake For Network Access Mac Before Installing

I then tested by restarting the laptop and waking from sleep.

Apple regularly releases software updates to system software, and macOS High Sierra is no different.

If you are still running macOS High Sierra 10.13, then you need to update to the latest point release version available (10.13.1, 10.13.2, etc).

This is easy, but you should always backup a Mac before installing any system software update.

This works for many users, but obviously if you must have a hidden SSID for some reason then making the SSID visible is not always a viable option.

Some users are also reportedly turning off wi-fi before they sleep their Mac, and then enabling it again once their Mac is awake.

This is obviously not much of a solution if you must sleep a Mac.

If youre experiencing wifi connection problems then try the steps below to potentially resolve them.

Do not proceed without a backup made so that you can roll back if something goes wrong.

For many users, this is sufficient to solve any problems with wifi networking.

I found that although I had turned off all intego software there was a com.integofamilyprotection service running in the background at boot.

I deleted all those SystemConfig files multiple times, turned wifi on and off, forgot my wifi connections etc.

Finally after reading somewhere else, I rebooted in recovery mode and reinstall Mac OSX.

Good and bad news.

The bad news, same problems.

So repeated the deletion of all new system config files.

Apple is not capable of providing a solid solution for a wifi connection.

To add insult to injury, my new matebook x pro has no problems whatsoever connecting to my iPhone hotspot, using my macbook pro this is a nightmare.

I installed the MacOS version 10.13.6 about a month or so ago.

I had some of the usual problems with not waking well from Sleep and randomly disconnecting from WiFi.

However, today I discovered that I cannot Turn On Wifi this function seems to have been completely disabled and there is no action when I click to turn on WiFi.

So, I cannot do anything online including connecting to App Store to get a patch update or getting online Apple Help.

What do I do My iMac computer is less than one year old I cant believe it is already incompatible with the new update.

They have support staff that is paid to deal with this stuff and they should be able to sort it out for you if SMC reset fails.

What I eventually did was use a USB WiFi dongle to join the network and then remove the USB dongle after successfully joining the network.
