• Step 2: 

Enter the following address into the text field and click Go

 /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

• Step 3: Delete the following files

1. A Finder window should open up with some system files in front of you. Select the following files:
   • com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
   • com.apple.network.identification.plist or com.apple.network.eapolclient.configuration.plist
   • com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
   • NetworkInterfaces.plist
   • preferences.plist

• Step 4

Now remove those files from the SystemConfiguration folder. Select them and press Command + Delete to move them to the Trash.
