Hi, What model of Mac are you running? If it has an ethernet port, try plugging it directly into your router with an ethernet cable, then running any software updates you can. I believe that there were some Airport WiFi updates since Mavericks was released that could help with this.
If your only choice is WiFi, when you’re in the Network pane of System Preferences, elect the WiFi from the Services Table, then navigate to the Advanced button and press it. Select the TCP/IP tab and change the Connect Using pop-up to “Using DHCP with Manual Address”. You should be able to put an IP in there while leaving the Subnet etc fields alone. If that doesn’t work, you need to look at the TCP and DNS info on one of your working machines, then enter similar info into the totally Manual option within the is same Advanced area. If those options are dimmed, make sure your lock is unlocked so that changes are allowed. HTH.
