My wife has a Macbook Air (2013), Mavericks 10.9.2.
It connected wirelessly on Wednesday, but will not connect wirelessly or via USB Ethernet today (Thursday)
All our other devices (Android and Desktop Windows 8.1) have no problem, either wirelessly or hard-wired.
I have tried a shutdown/restart but still no connection (wireless and USB hard-wired).
System Preferences>Network shows no errors either wireless or USB Ethernet.
As far as I am a know nothing was installed on Wednesday and my wife would not be remotely interested in 'fiddling' with settings she knows nothing about.

All our hard wired devices are using powerline, but I have connected the Mac directly to the Huawei HG659 modem/router (VDSL) in the garage and still no internet access.

This is the first time this has happened since we got the Mac (Sept 2013).

Any suggestions on what to try next?

KiwiNZ: Check this goto System Preferences.... Network  click on TCP/IP and check IPV4 is configured to DHCP click on DNS and check the servers are correctly listed

Give this a try, goto System Preferences.... Network.....click on the Advanced button locate bottom right....Highlight each network listed and click the minus button to remove, do this for all listed. 
Exit prefs and save if prompted, reboot and try again to connect


It's back on-line.

1) IPV4 was set to DHCP
2) In DNS, there was NO DNS Servers listed. I manually added 192.168.1.1 (My router) and it connected.

Thank you.

Why would it be missing.
Is there anything else I should do?
