Here is the interesting part about yosemite:
Turning off AWDL
Perhaps not surprising for Apple users, you actually can’t easily (see below) turn off AWDL/AirDrop in Yosemite. You can remove it from the left side of Finder, but that doesn’t fix the issue. Apple? User choice?
Either way, you can fix your Yosemite WiFi issues, at the cost of disabling AWDL and AirDrop, by typing the following command at the OSX terminal:
sudo ifconfig awdl0 down
And vice versa to restore AirDrop and AWDL (and the WiFi issues)
sudo ifconfig awdl0 up
For clarification: that’s “a w d (lowercase L) (number zero)”
Give it a try if you like and report back
