Thanks to Grace: New Macbook Tip!


Grace's Macbook saw our network and "claimed" it was connected, but NO INTERNET. Research revealed a fix. It may be temporary, but it got the job done today!

Open: System Preferences>>Network

At the left, there should be a pane listing ways in which your computer connects to the internet (Ethernet, VPN, AirPort, etc.)

At the bottom of this pane there are (+)(-)(cog) buttons that correspond to (add method)(remove method)(other options dropdown)

Highlight: Airport and hit - to remove.
Immediately hit + and choose AirPort (on mine it is default) for the interface type.
Click: Create

Then Click: Apply

That somehow allowed AirPort to fully connect again.

You may have to wait a moment or two for it to complete the connection, but you will see under the STATUS:

Connected
AirPort is connected to TAWE

Thanks for helping out, Grace! Researching your connectivity issues helped us find a solution.
