Start the OS X in recovery mode ( Cmd+R+Pwer)ДЈ. If you still can't connect once you've gone through the above process, I would suggest that continuing to troubleshoot this will cause more frustration and take more time than just cutting your losses and doing a fresh installation of macOS.ДЎ I assume you have a backup regime in place.I finally solve de issue following the instruction in fixed/ that JГјrgen shares in the last post.ДЎ. Remember though, this is a list of 3rd party kernel extensions and therefore any of them could be causing the problem.

Look for anything you don't remember installing, or something that belongs to software you've removed, or just anything that looks out of place. The above command will list 3rd party kernel extensions (you may need to stretch the Terminal window so it's easier to read).

Kernel Extensions:- You can open Terminal (found within your Utilites folder) and enter the following command: A little more info below:ДЇonts:- You can remove any of the fonts you've installed yourself to see if this makes a difference.

If the problem does persist, it's either a problem with fonts you've installed yourself or with a 3rd party kernel extension.

You can then add them back in one by one until you've identified the culprit.

If you can, you know one (or more) of the Login items were causing the problem.

Test to see if you can connect to the Internet: Now your Mac will boot up without those login items loading.

Now remove all of them by highlighting them and clicking on the - button below.

Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups.

Investigating login items, fonts, and kernel extensions Since the problem is not present during Safe Mode then it's time to investigate login items, fonts, and kernel extensions.

I assume you already know how to freshly install macOS and restore your data from a backup, so for now I'll focus on how I would troubleshoot this further. Keep in mind that if you continue troubleshooting, that this is a process of elimination and often requires patience. The first option will almost certainly resolve the issue, the second option may eventually resolve the issue.

Option 2 -Continue troubleshooting your current installation.

Option 1 - Cut your losses and do a fresh installation of macOS, followed by restoring your data from your Time Machine (or other) backups 1.

I freely confess that my own human error might have misconstrued any of the advice. Prior to this problem the MBP was showing its age, particularly the need for more RAM but it was working fine. The only thing that works is starting in safe mode.

compared Activity Monitor processes in norma and safe modeДЄnd spent time on the phone with both my ISP and TPLink and probably some suggestions I now donвЂ™t remember.

creating a second admin account for testing.

turning off my Kaspersky security suite.

trying connection via coffee shop network.

restarting DSL modem and TP Link router.

Problem MBP shows perfect wireless connectivity but I canвЂ™t open a web page, I have tried all the suggestions I found on this and other boards. My MBP is the only device in the house affected by this.

It is possible that it occurred as a result of my installation of Apple Security Update 2017-4. My problem is that I can only access the internet in safe mode. I have an older MacBook Pro, Mid 2009, El Capitan 10.11.6. Solutions offered there did not work for me. This particular problem was discussed here before I can connect to internet only in Safe Mode.
