Apple\u2019s latest operating systems i.e. iOS 8<\/a> and OS X Yosemite<\/a> seems to have experiencing Wi-Fi issues. The reason behind the issues is the use of Apple\u2019s Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) for Bonjour. Wi-Fi hardware constraints the usage hence creating performance issues.The Cupertino is yet to fix the issues completely. We just told you about how to fix such issues on iOS 8 via jailbreak tweak<\/a>. But what about OS X Yosemite Wi-Fi issues? Can we fix them? There is no app or tweak available to provide with the toggle. So what to do?<\/p>\n

Well, you can change the settings manually by typing simple terminal commands. You can either enable or disable the AWDL as per your needs. Want to have no Wi-Fi issue, just disable it.<\/p>\n

To disable, type<\/p>\n

\n

sudo ifconfig awdl0 down<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To enable, type<\/p>\n

\n

sudo ifconfig awdl0 up<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It will fix your OS X Yosemite Wi-Fi issues however, will affect your AirDrop features. You can enable AWDL when you are going to use AirDrop continuously for some time.<\/p>\n

Have you got any other fix for the issue? Do tell us in your comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
