I came into the office today with my MacBook Pro and usually my Wi-Fi automatically connects to the network, but instead it is constantly searching.

Select 'wired' or 'wireless' depending on your communication environment and networking devices. For steps to connect the machine and set an IP address, see 'Getting Started' (Manuals Included with the Machine). For specific IP address settings, contact your Internet service provider.

1. Jul 06, 2017  Wi-Fi issues may be related to the network in question or they may be related to the Wi-Fi computer joining that network. Usually, if other computers or devices (such as the Apple TV or iPhone) are able to get on the Internet without issues, then your Wi-Fi router is probably fine. If you only have one Wi-Fi device, proceed with this article.
2. Dec 15, 2018  Macbook self-assigning IP address, can't connect to wifi. Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by neonbliss, Apr 11, 2014. Most Liked Posts. IPhones smart TVs iPads but not my MacBook Pro so I looked at my iPhone’s IP address and set my MacBook Pro to manual IP address.

If I go to System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi, there is a solid yellow circle and the text reads 'Wi-Fi does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Internet'.

Mac Will Not Connect To Wifi Network

I've tried turning off Wi-Fi and restarting the computer but neither has worked.

In the Network Preferences, click 'Advanced ...' and remove the WiFi network from the 'Preferred Networks'. This will make macOS forget the network, after which you can attempt to connect again. macOS will build up the connection 'from scratch' and won't rely on any cached settings. I have to use the same trick once in a while for our corporate WiFi network.

If toggle Wi-Fi Power and removing preferred Network doesn't work then try 'Renew DHCP lease'.

After the connection.

1. Goto System Preference -> Network -> Select Wi-Fi -> Advanced -> TCP/IP
2. Click on 'Renew DHCP lease' and apply.

It works sometime.

If this also not works you can try with valid Static IP (add DNS also, manually)

There are 4 main steps for WiFi to work and you’ve passed the first hurdle.

1. The radios establish a two way link on the SSID - agreeing on channel, encryption, and what if any password your client needs to be let on.
2. The computer optionally asks for an address to be assigned (DHCP request) over the working radio connection.
3. The receiving access point will either answer that request or broadcast / assign it to another device to handle.
4. The response is delivered to your Mac which needs to configure itself for the DNS/DHCP address and subnet assigned.

The last three steps could be combined into one if you know all the settings and set up your network automatically. Since you have the message “does not have an address” one of the three things that happen externally has failed so you’ll need to manually configure the network settings or ask for help.

Since the radio is up, you could run a packet capture tool like sudo tcpdump -i en0 with en0 possibly being another number on your system and look for those DHCP broadcast or ARP requests and figure out what network address might be available - but that borders on setting up the network so it’s really best to not potentially break the network for everyone if you assign yourself an address that was reserved or is in use already.
