Basically my WiFi works fine on my PC and my iPhone.

On my MBP, out of a sudden wifi has stopped working. Tethering to iPhone also doesn't work - in both cases, it connects, but the connection doesn't work.

So far tried
1) restarting
2) disconnecting and connecting back to WiFi
3) Network Diagnositcs, which gave a DNS failure report
4) Changing DNS to OpenDNS and GoogleDNS

Any ideas what might be the problem and what else can I try?
 
These kinds of problems can be happen because of below mentioned errors

1. Device Related Error:
It could be that your router or smart device is having some technical glitch which is causing the WiFi to not function correctly.

2. Network Related Error:
If you are able to connect to public WiFi but not to your own home WiFi, then it indicates that the problem lies in your WiFI network.

3. Internet Related Error:
Visit several websites to ensure that it is not a limitation of a particular site which is having geo-restrictions or is a slow loading site by default, then it indicates that the internet speed is slow.

You can try these solutions to work them proerly.

1. Turn off and on Airplane Mode.

2.Reboot the Network

3.Use the Network Troubleshooter

4.Reset the Network Settings

5. you may consider using Bit Driver Updater. This program automatically updates all the worn out and outdated device drivers and helps re-establish a connection between your computer and WiFi in just a few clicks.
