Why does my home network not show up sometimes in my network listings? I'm using a MacBOok Pro, Mac 10.9.5.  It happens frequently that when I wake my Mac from hibernation or simply reboot, my home network is not automatically selected in the "Network" section in my System Preferences.  When I open the "Network Name:" drop down menu, I don't see it in there either.  However, if I click the "Turn Wi-Fi Off" and "Turn Wi-Fi On" one or multiple times, it does eventually appear and eitehr it gets automatically selected or I can select it myself.

My question is, how I can always get it to appear in my network list (assuming I am at home and my router is turned on)?  Note I am always within 15 feet of my router (LinkSys E900).
Your 10.9.5 and your Router are having problem of identity.

Your 10.9.5 can not find the correct name, or your router is not broadcasting it correctly. 

So try changing the name of your Network, and make sure it is moved to the Top of the Network list and choose different Chanel. 

Also you could tell the router that your MAC address belongs to trusted ones.

I would not panic but on they web site they skipped 10.9.5 (Mavericks) and call it Yosemite ?

Probably just a stupid typo :)
