# MacLockScreen

Macbook lock screen without disconnecting Wi-Fi

Introduction

----------------------

A Simple tool that locks screen without disconnecting the Wi-Fi on Macbook.

For earlier version of Mac the following command works (more details about this solution, can be found [here](http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/71884/wi-fi-disconnects-when-i-lock-the-mac)):

```

cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources

sudo ./airport en1 prefs DisconnectOnLogout=NO

```

The above solution sometimes does not work on new version of Macbook. The alternative is this tool if you are bothered by reconnecting Wi-Fi every time after locking the screen.
