I'd complain about my one particular problem with their Apple wireless keyboard and mouse, but I have a bug report open so whatever. It only surfaced in later beta builds and continues today.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds Third OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan Beta to Developers

I install on an unused drive and transfer my data from a production machine to see/test if it is ready or not. In my opinion, Yosemite was never ready or fixed. Many of the problems I reported were fixed in El Capitan, but as usual more were introduced at the same time.
Apple is turning into 1 step forward, 2 steps back on Mac OS X sadly.
I really hope they fix the Wi-Fi issues...My Wi-Fi doesn't work anywhere except for my living room and kitchen but that's where the router is...
that could be the router thats the issue, are all your other wireless devices working comfortably around the house?
I'm pretty sure it's not the router
Everything that doesn't run El Capitan (or Yosemite) works with absolutely no problems. When I downgraded to Mavericks, it all was fine, but then I keep on forgetting how much I like El Capitan. I hope they fix Preview. It's been broken on both 10.11.0 and 10.11.1 (open PDF, zoom it a lot, and bang, it crashes and even can cause a system crash).
I cannot understand how such a basic tool as Preview can be still broken after two 10.11 releases.

Cool, in that case, i'd try either a router reboot if you haven't, or wait for update. of course at the end of the day problem could be from your specific config if it was an upgrade as well - i'd really also suggest a clean clean install without restoring anything. And also, give safe mode a try too shouldn't hurt.

Try this:
Make a copy of the folder below to your Desktop.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
Next, delete the original folder, just move it to the trash, then restart, you'll loose all your network settings so you have to add them again.
If this fixed it leave it that way, if not delete the newly created folder
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and copy the one you copied earlier into that place, restart.
Thanks for the great ideas. I always do clean installs every time I reset my computers. After all, that's why I reinstall them.
I'm pretty sure it's not the router either. I've had this problem wherever I go (Starbucks [lol] or family & friends house) it just doesn't work. Apple is a great company, and I'm sure they could fix this problem easily.

Thanks for this, it's nice of you.
Really don't want to sound rude but I have done that already, as I've seen it on OSXDaily's website.
So from these 2 sentences it's safe to say that Snow Leopard was also very buggy, just not "everywhere". Nice.

Ok, what about creating a new user, preferably a Admin user in User & Groups, restart, log into the new User Account and see if it works there, if not there is a conflict somewhere in the System.
I had all this crap in Yosemite, didn't get solved until I upgraded to El Cap, never had this problem anymore.
Okay so I've tried this, and sadly (very sadly) the problem is still there. Now I'm convinced that this is a bug with the OS.
But thanks for trying to help me! 
I lost all my user data in Snow Leopard. That OS is dead to me.
My Apple Mail still has no outgoing server! Guess I should be happy with iCloud.
Yeah can't connect to Synology NAS normally.
Tried going to iMac settings, Sharing, FIle Sharing, Options: if you enable/disable SMB/AFP, it can bring back the possibility to enter user and password to login to NAS. But it's not stable...
Such a shame.
That just showed up in my App Store:
Will I be able to recover to the current version now or still fall back to 10.11.1?

Cltr-K from Finder is the best way, but it's still not stable and normally disappears after a reboot (even after adding the drive/location in User Login Settings in Prefs)
Just in case, have you tried resetting PRAM and clearing NVRAM yet?Okay so I've tried this, and sadly (very sadly) the problem is still there. Now I'm convinced that this is a bug with the OS.
