Wifi won't stay connected on a MacBook Pro I've reset my mac, reset my wifi, forgot the network and rejoined with the correct password, and made sure my mac is up to date with the most recent update. I have other devices which stay connected to my wifi with no issues.

My Mac forgets my WIFI network Over the last 2 weeks, my Mac has been forgetting my main WIFI network. It connects to a back-up router automatically, which does not work (no internet connection). I had the Mac "forget" this back-up router, but it does not auto-join the main WIFI network. (Yes, auto-join is selected.) The main WIFI is hidden, so I need to type the WIFI router name each time and the password, every time my computer goes to sleep. Once I do this, the WIFI works, but I do not want to keep typing the router name and password, each time. Any suggestions why this is happening. I have another (older) Mac, which is working fine, using the main WIFI network, without any issues.

Can't select wifi after factory resetting After doing a factory reset, the "Activate Mac" screen is asking me to "select wi-fi network from the menu or attach a network cable to proceed." There is nowhere on the screen for me to select a wifi network. At this time I can't access my Mac. The "next" option is greyed out. Can anyone help?

Hi,

Following article could help your issue, though you need to enter WiFi router or WiFi access point password which is usually printed on bottom case or backside WiFi access point.
