| Jun 9, 2020 at 3:51 | comment | added | Ramit | Got it. But could any of highlight why does it "feel" like the problem gets solved when restart the laptop with the NVRAM resetting key sequence? | |
| Jun 6, 2020 at 17:39 | comment | added | athena | ⇒ bad contact around the Wi-Fi card. Best answer is the one from @Allan. Since the fixing of the Wi-Fi card is a complex access path I would suggest you to bring it to Apple. | |

| Jun 5, 2020 at 7:32 | comment | added | athena | Could you clarify what you mean by a "jerk movement"? | |

| Jun 4, 2020 at 17:06 | comment | added | Ramit | @dan I have changed the title and added further edits, I think the edit on the "jerk" movement leading to the WIFI status turning off could be a clue to resolving the issue. I too believe the NVRAM resetting isn't exactly the solution here. Thanks. | |

| Jun 4, 2020 at 16:59 | comment | added | Ramit | @dan the WI-FI turn Off /On option doesn't even come when its in the WIFI get botched. It simply says status off.. clicks on the "buttons" there, don't get registered. | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 16:25 | comment | added | athena | A better title for your question would be "How to analyse a Wi-Fi problem?”. | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 16:23 | comment | added | athena |
Could you try from the Wi-Fi menu: Turn Wi-Fi off … Turn Wi-Fi on? Then add to your OQ if it fixes temporarily your Wi-Fi problem or not?

As @benwiggy answered I think the NVRAM doesn’t fix anything. You can prove it by running /usr/bin/sudo nvram -p >nvram.$$ before and after.

| Jun 4, 2020 at 12:21 | comment | added | Ramit | So I'm speaking in terms of frequency here. SMC reset has both failed and worked almost 50% of the times. NVRAM reset has also failed at times but it has been most successful. (I might be biased towards NVRAM one compared to the SMC, because it showed most promise) | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 12:08 | comment | added | benwiggy | Does an SMC reset solve it as well? Or any other keypress at boot time? | |

| Jun 4, 2020 at 11:26 | comment | added | Ramit | Sure! no problem. | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 11:26 | comment | added | Tetsujin | OK, thanks. I don't know the answer, sorry, but that is useful information. | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 11:24 | comment | added | Ramit | Yes! once the WIFI symbol goes out, if i do a simple cold boot instead of a nvram reset, I am finding the WIFI symbol is next shown as unavailable! (That is there is a cross over there) | |
| Jun 4, 2020 at 6:18 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Have you firmly established that a cold boot alone does not fix it? | |
