I tried going to the assist me option under network preferences and I obtained multiple results with no fix. the wifi will remain off even after clicking on the 'turn wifi on' option multiple times. Then i clicked again on the icon to turn it back on, however, as was doomed to remain in this state cause no matter what I tried. I attempted to turn it back ON by clicking on the wifi signal icon but something weird occured, it was still 'ON' according to my mac and the only option available was to actually turn it OFF, so i clicked on it and the icon would go empty with no curvy lines (i attached a picture). While doing work all of the sudden the WiFi would turn off and lose all connection to the web. However, in the past week I have experienced a very strange and irrating problem with my macbook.
Last year I upgraded it to Mavericks and so far it has been a nice experience. I bought a Macbook Pro back in 2011 and It came with Lion OS. This is my first time posting something on this forum I will be as detailed as possible.
