What is WirelessRadioManager-osx?

WirelessRadioManager-osx looks after the wireless radios in your Mac.

What does it manage?

• Turning Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off
• Managing radio states when your Mac sleeps and wakes
• Keeping Wi-Fi and Bluetooth from interfering with each other
• Handling Aeroplane Mode on supported models
• Saving power by adjusting radio states

Why do the radios need managing together?

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both use the 2.4 GHz frequency band, which can cause clashes. WirelessRadioManager-osx coordinates between them to reduce problems. For example, it can adjust Bluetooth while a large Wi-Fi transfer is happening.

Does it use many resources?

No. Managing radio states is light work.

Should you worry?

No. It is a standard macOS process that keeps your wireless connections running well together.
