Some OS X Yosemite Users Still Experiencing Wi-Fi Connection Issues Even After 10.10.1 Update

No BT connection issue here, but I just can't find the setting to make it invisible, as it always should be when not actively seeking a peripheral. And this MB isn't compatible with Handoff (or is it the iPhone?), so I can't see why it's always visible.
Seems to me they bet everything on new features without any attention to improving what was already there. iCloud has surely evolved, but surely not improved.
Please
. SL was bold in not introducing any new features, only improvements that were more than welcome (except the loss of PPC support, Apple could have cut that in Lion).To Apple's discharge, I have been experiencing wifi issues with my iOS 6-running iPad 2 as well. Each time I need to connect to a WPA2 Enterprise network, I have to manually select the network, or toggle off and back on between airplane mode and regular. Or wifi access points that need to receive a click on a browser button. Pretty much every kind of non-standard configuration.
And the Yosemite-running MB still has wifi problems. Occasional "live" disconnections (stays hooked to the network but no data flowing, just got one as of this post), and permanently-empty 802.1X network preferences tab. And error messages as to the impossibility of sharing a 802.1X-secured connection (which worked flawlessly in SL).
Well to be honest this is not just Apple's problem. Connections themselves are still unreliable in public places and will never ever rely on a cloud-only computer or software. Just as another poster claimed email was the buggiest protocol to date with all its malfunctions, I put forth that over-reliance on cloud connections will decrease user's experience.
Even on that powerhouse??
I thought my mid-2009 MB may finally not have enough grunt for Yosemite, but seems the problem is deeper.Seems to have done the trick
What did you do, just change one of the wifi network credentials?
How does a Windows machine with issues mitigate problems for a Mac user?
I was referring to the pain Windows has for everyday people and not being an easy fix sometimes. Didn't make it clear in my post. These issues are clearly in the minority.
My upgrade has gone pretty smoothly and Wi-Fi not being an issue at all. Although, the new font is a totally different matter.
Same here. I'm tired of these clowns thinking they're smarter than everyone and saying there is no issue. That's a crock of crap and shows how little they know. This is a known issue...simple. I am still waiting for Apple to get their act together and fix this. Each new update seems to be worse than the first, since they don't fix the problems in the previous version and introduce several more. I can't even love Apple anymore. Bleh.
Yeah the apple fanboyism here is ridiculous... claiming that thousands of people with problems are lying and/or must just have bad wifi.
I have tonnes of wifi devices and PCs and Mac's and idevices. Only the macs running Yosemite have a problem, and the problem goes away completely when I downgrade to mavericks.
The problem I have is that internet just stops. LAN activity continues, but WAN seems to never progress beyond bonjour/DNS - which seems to be where the issue is. If I turn wifi off then back on - it goes back to working normally again - but for some random amount of time.
I knew 10.10.1 would not fix it, because I was so desperate I was trying out the beta. I will try 10.10.2.... Disappointing how long it has taken apple to *not* fix this.

Similar experience. On Mavericks and Yosemite I've never had WiFi issues at home, but every time I start/wake up my MacBook at my university it connects...then disconnects and I have to turn WiFi off and back on. After that initial time (that occurs with 100% frequency) it usually does t mess up again, but it can.
WIFI disconnect - Anyone seen this?
I noticed that when I am doing dd to external sd card (USB converter) trought external USB 3 hub I get constituently disconnected. My WIFI indicator shows full bars but not internet connection. While dd still going I turn off and on WIFI and internet is back for minute or so. This is reproducible overtime. I did reported this to apple but as always never feedback back. When dd finishes Internet stays more stable. I did try this several time and always same results.
Anyone noticed this? Could this be indication of real WIFI problem?

I had wifi issues on mavericks, it took forever to connect, sometimes forcing me to disable/reenable wifi. with Yosemite, I get periodic downtime... on two different networks, same stupid symptoms. Gotta do some more testing. I did a clean install of yosemite.
Tim Cook is not going to resign. Not because of Yosemite problems. Nobody cares about the Mac platform these days, except for Mac users. Everybody is looking at the iPhone. Not even the decline in iPad sales, which is the second darling of Apple, is causing people to request Tim Cook's removal.
And record sales and profits of Macs and iPhones, can't forget that. They're going to fire him any day now...
The way that Apple integrated Thunderbolt technology was ridiculous, because it interferes with the wifi adapter. Simply click your wifi icon in the upper-right of the screen. Go down to and select "open network preferences." Then click on the Thunderbolt option. Turn off all options for Thunderbolt. Then remove Thunderbolt as an option. You should get a message pop-up which tells you that Thunderbolt is using your connection or adapter. Just remove it anyway. Once Thunderbolt has been removed, click "apply" and then close it out. Your wifi adapter will not have any more issue staying connected...at least it shouldn't.
If you are utilizing Thunderbolt, then I don't have a solution for you. But if you are NOT using Thunderbolt, then simply remove it. Happy always-on connecting.

Not only is this thread a year old with a year old problem, a whole new OS version is out now..
