I have 4 iOS devices and 3 Macs (all 10.11.3) all connected to a Time Capsule over uniquely named 5GHz (ac for newer, a/n for older devices).
Whenever I need to restart the TC for some reason, all but one of the devices are eager to reconnect, and eventually do so successfully.
All except the mid 2011 Mac Mini that just sits there like an idiot with a greyed out Wifi icon and says "Duuuh I don't see nothin'. Where am I? Derp de derp". So I have to walk over to it, click the WiFi drop down, groan "It's RIGHT THERE!" and manually select my network. The village idiot Mini then stays connected until the next TC restart.
I've checked every single network setting to verify it's all identical to the other two Macs. I've erased the preferred networks to flush any possible anomalies and recreated them manually. I've also waited for the Mac to grab the network names and settings from iCloud. I've allowed it to use 2.4GHz as an alternative, I've tried hidden and non-hidden network name. But the Mini just won't reconnect automatically. Any ideas?
