Some users still having Wi-Fi issues after OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite update

While yesterday's Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite update brought relief to a number of users who were having Wi-Fi issues, MacNN reports that the Apple support threads are still buzzing with discussions of continued disconnects and slow connection speeds. MacNN notes that an informal poll showed that only four out of 15 users (about 27 percent) with Wi-Fi issues before the patch are still experiencing problems.

One user reported having "numerous people unable to connect for longer than a minute before and after 10.10.1" even with business-grade routers and access points, while others are less exact. Some are saying they'll see disconnections at random intervals while the menu bar signal strength indicator shows full signal strength. Others are no longer having the disconnect issue, but are getting very slow (802.11b-like) speeds rather than 802.11ac or 802.11n speeds.

Fortunately, there are some fixes available thanks to OS X Daily. These range from the simple -- deleting a network configuration file -- to the time-consuming, which involves doing a clean install of Yosemite. If OS X 10.10.1 didn't help your Wi-Fi issues, be sure to take a look at some of the fixes and let us know in the comments if they helped.
