How to Forget a Wi-Fi Network on Mac

Your Mac does a lot behind the scenes. One cool feature is keeping track of all the Wi-Fi networks you connect to, remembering the passwords, and automatically re-connecting the next time you're in range. Most of the time, this is great. But there may be an occasion when it’s not. Maybe there are multiple networks in range, and your Mac is connecting to the wrong one. We'll cover how to remove a Wi-Fi network from your Mac, as well as how to keep a saved network but stop your computer from automatically connecting.

Now click the minus button to delete all selected networks. That's all there is to it! As a final tip, your Mac prioritizes which network to connect to first based on the order of your Wi-Fi log. Click and drag the networks up or down to change the order. If multiple networks are in range, your Mac will try the one at the top first.  How-ToMacSettingsWi-FiDevice ManagementMaster your iPhone in one minute a day: Sign up here to get our FREE Tip of the Day delivered right to your inbox.
