I have a situation where I need to regularly re set the internet connection by SYSTEM PREFS > NETWORK > and change the LOCATION from auto by setting a new one
It started on my previous iMac using Mojave and I put up with it as I knew I’d be getting a newer machine soon & thought it may be network hardware related.
I now have a newer machine (re-furb iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015 4ghz i7, 16gb ram) which runs Catalina
I set up the newer iMac using the time machine backup from my old iMac - the problem still exist (so I guess it’s not hardware related)
I googled some info and replaced some preferences files
nameley
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
NetworkInterfaces-pre-upgrade-new-target.plist
NetworkInterfaces-pre-upgrade-source.plist
NetworkInterfaces.plist
preferences-pre-upgrade-new-target.plist
preferences-pre-upgrade-source.plist
hoping that that my fix the problem - however the problem still exists - any suggestions?
