I am sitting next to the wireless router.

My phone has no issues but my computer won't see the routers (it sees all my neighbors).

Any advice?

I restarted the router and my computer to no avail.

Turn the Wifi off and back on.

Get your Macbook's eyes checked. May need glasses.

How old is the Macbook?

If you're broadcasting solely at 5ghz and not dual broadcasting at 5/2.4ghz, a newer phone might be able to see it but an older computer might not.

Don't know anything about Mac OS but it appears the terminal command ifconfig works. It will tell you if the system sees the wireless hardware and may give other clues.


Display the connected network adapters with the ifconfig terminal command.

ifconfig



To view a specific adapter, pass its name as an argument to the command:

ifconfig [network-adapter-name]
