Fixing Wi-Fi and Sleep on Legacy MacBook Pro 2010
Running macOS Sonoma on a 2010 MBP requires specific patches for stable wireless and power management.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Wi-Fi Patching: Ensure you have applied the Modern Wireless patches in OCLP's Post-Install menu.
- Forget Networks: Go to System Settings > Network > Wi-Fi > Details and Forget your network, then reconnect to clear the (9080) error.
- Sleep Settings: Disable "Wake for network access" in Battery/Energy Saver settings to prevent lid-close issues.
- NVRAM Reset: Perform a PRAM/NVRAM reset to recalibrate power management controllers.
Original Question: "New to OCLP few questions"
Hello, I found out about OCLP a few days ago and updated my dusty mid 2010 13" mbp to Sonoma(performance isn't the best but it's fine for me, at least I can use my programs/apps that only support Sonoma and up)
Things I tried, NVRAM reset, another reset I forget the name, and post-install root patch.
Not sure if this is normal and expected of such an old mbp using a later OS but:
WIFI only connects when I manually connect it, if I go into sleep or lock screen I'll have to reconnect and sometimes it won't until I reboot, clicking ask to join networks gives me a (9080) error
And sometimes when I close the lid it won't go to my lock/password screen even though I have it sent to instant, if I manually lock it then close the lid it works again
