It’s easy, particularly when traveling, to end up connecting to a Wi-Fi network that doesn’t provide Internet access, requires credentials you don’t have or lacks access to the network’s printer.
Unfortunately, once your iPhone, iPad or Mac connects to such a network, it may reconnect to it later, which is aggravating.
The solution? Whenever you realize a Wi-Fi network is worthless, forget it. (The network, that is.)
On the Mac:
Open System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi
- Select the network in the list (you don’t have to be connected to it)
- Click the – button
- Click Remove
On an iPhone or iPad, when you’re connected to the offending network, go to:
- Settings > Wi-Fi
- Tap the i button to the right of the current network
- Tap Forget This Network on the next screen.
