Lets do this, please provide an EtreCheck report of your system so we can look for any obvious issues. You can use your Ethernet connection to downlead the app.


It will help us get a good idea of what is causing your problem if you provide a report of your system, that way we do not have to play 20 questions with you. The report we are requesting does NOT provide any personal information and is extremely safe to use. Please navigate to www.Etrecheck.com and download the free version of EtreCheck. Once you have you downloaded the app and installed it, please run the report and save it.


When you have your report, you can attach it when you reply to this message and we can then review it and help you determine what is needed to get your system running well again.


For instructions on how to download your EtreCheck report and attach it to your reply to this message please click https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250000211

Last time I brought in apple store for check and repair, they found nothing wrong.


No upgrade.


After 2 weeks the issue came back again, Wi-Fi is OFF when turning on, need to turn on manually.


Cannot access ApplecDiagnostic too.


Gray out Wi-Fi with a back slash bar

only option I get:

wifi button for switching Off and On

other

Network Preferences

Just an update, it was a hardware issue with my wifi card no longer functioning. I reached out to Apple Support we did the same test you guys suggested and the conclusion was the wifi was busted.


Apple Tech Support suggests bringing IMAC 2015 late model to a local Apple Store and have the Wifi card replaced.

Total cost $515.33 parts/labor/taxes included.


It took 5 business days for turn around and now its working smoothly.


Thank you for the help den.thed and rkaufmann87
