Failing to connect to WiFi network with MacAuthEvent error

Solution 1:

It might be your WiFi hardware, but you can test it using following steps to manualy onnect:

Manually connect to WiFi

Turn On

networksetup -setairportpower en0 on

Find

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport scan

Connect

networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 WIFI_SSID_I_WANT_TO_JOIN WIFI_PASSWORD

If above does not work you have a deeper problem.

• Before you go, try using the BSSID instead the network name.

airport -A=ssid -BSSID=bssidname -password=password

If you do not know the BSSID (who does), use this to find it:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport -s

This will give you all SSID and BSSID in your scan range.
