How do I forget a network on a Mac laptop or desktop?

Body

When would you use this?

Mac devices occasionally will automatically switch between FSU_Wireless and FSU Guest. When it switches to FSU Guest, it will require authentication every three days in order to join. If proper authentication is not established, FSU Guest will drop you from the Wi-Fi.

 

Unless you are a guest to the University, you should always use FSU_Wireless over FSU Guest. Forgetting FSU Guest from your Wi-Fi list will prevent the random switch.

 

Instructions:

  1. Click the Apple icon at the top left corner of your screen. Then, click System Preferences
  2. Within System Preferences, click Network
  3. On the list to the left, confirm Wi-Fi is highlighted, and click the Advanced... button

 

 

  1. The Wi-Fi tab will show a Preferred Networks list. Highlight FSU Guest and click the minus (–) button

 

 

  1. Click OK and then Apply to complete the changes

 

Environment/Applies To:

Mac OS, FSU_Wireless, FSU Guest
