How do I delete a network

I have two networks set up with time capsule, don't ask why I have set up two as I only need one, I made a mistake. I want to delete one of them as they both have very similar names. Also how do I rename a network? Thanks.

Wireless networks? Go into the Airport Utility, select your base station, click Manual Setup, then go to the Airport tab and turn off the Guest network. While there, you can also rename your other network.

  • HT4262 I have two networks one each in two cities.  Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location but cannot connect to his wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

    I have two networks one each in two cities.  Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

    Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
    Select them and tap the - button below it.
    Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
    Start with a clean slate.

  • How do I delete a network and start over with no wired computers??

    I've been trying forever to delete my parents network...it has a WEP I can't remember, and I just want to start from scratch.  I've tried reseting the router...I've even called a Linksys tech, and even she was baffled.  I have no wired computers...Can anyone help???

    The only thing you can't do is upgrade the firmware.
    That being said ... I have to assume you are using Windows XP and windows is managing the wireless network connections.
    If any of these assumptions are false, my advice may not be as helpful.
    Step 1. Delete all networks from the Preferred Networks list.
    - open the wireless network connections window (double-click on icon in task bar)
    - click on Advanced tab (bottom left)
    - select each network that is shown and delete/remove it (can't remember what the button is called)
    Step 2. Reset the router.
    - unplugging the router does not accomplish anything here
    - locate the reset button ... press AND hold for at least 5 seconds
    - once you release the button, various lights on the front panel will flash as the router boots
    - when you have a steady green for power, look to see if you have a green light for WLAN
    - if the wireless is turned OFF by default (no green light for WLAN) you will have to find a way connect wired for at least a few minutes to turn it on (take it to a friends, bring the friend to it ... whatever works)
    Step 3. Setup the router for secure wireless.
    - if the WLAN is lit after resetting, you should see a notification on the computer saying "one or more wireless networks are in range"
    - click on that notification and find an unsecured network called linksys (if there is more then one, pick the one with the highest signal strength)
    - once you connect to that, open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type 192.168.1.1
    - the user name is left blank and the password is admin
    - change the password (under the Administration tab)
    - under the Wireless tab change the SSID name
    - under the Wireless Security tab choose WPA-shared key (better the WEP) and a phrase
    - once you apply the changes you will lose your connection
    - go back into the wireless network connections window and you should now see a secured network with the name you picked
    - try to connect to it, a dialog will appear asking for encryption type (WPA-shared key) and phrase
    - once you have successfully connected windows will automatically set up that network as default and connect to it whenever it is in range.
    Let me know if any of this is ?!?

  • HT4628 How can I delete a network from my system preferences? My wifi keeps trying to connect to a network that has been disable.

    We have disabled an old network in our home and installed a new one. My computer keeps finding the old network, but I have no connection as it is disabled. I have set the new network as my priority, but it doesn't seem to be working. I would like to delete the old network, but can't find how to do it.

    Try going to system preferences/network. Unlock the padlock if locked with your admin paswd.
    Click on Locations, at the bottom of the drop down menu select Edit locations, this should bring up the list of networks, highlight the one you wish to delete and click the minus button, it should disappear. Click done.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I delete old network connections?

    I'm adding some new computers to my network and have discovered a mess of old connections in the network preferences. I'd like to delete the old ones in order to keep things a neat and tidy as I can.
    However, I can't seem to find a way to delete them individually.
    Is there some way to see all your network connections in a list or something and delete those outdated or no longer needed? I can find them individually using network preferences, but even then there does not seem to be a delete feature.

    Hi--
    You can delete locations in the Network Preferences. From the "Location" menu, choose "Edit Locations..." and you'll get a little box with your locations. There's a "Delete" button there. If the "Edit Locations..." menu item is greyed out, just click the little lock in the lower left of the pane to open it, supply your password, and you should be in business.

  • How to remove/delete all networking capabilities with OSX Mavericks

    Hi,
    This idea may seem counter-intuitive, yet it is for a sort of holistic path with my technological tools. In different words, I want to limit a laptop for productions, and access the internet via devices or whatever.
    What I've done so far:
    - removed the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-Card from MBA (mid-2013)
    What I want to do now:
    - remove the necessary files, scripts, programs that rely on the internet
         - iCloud, Remote access, Safari, iMessages, etcetera
    My problem:
    - Where do I look and start? Is there any documentation to do something so drastic as this?
    Thank you for any help.

    Allow me to ask the question another way.
    Is there any way to connect two computers at any distance without Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Internet access, Ethernet or any other networking method? Are there other hardware components that could facilitate these alternatives if possible?
    Thanks.

  • HT2712 How do I delete wireless networks that my computer keeps detecting?

    My iMac keeps detecting other wireless networks in the neighborhood which slows down or prevents it from connecting to my wireless network. Is there a way to block those other networks?

    ........which slows down or prevents it from connecting to my wireless network.
    I'm not sure that it does. What makes you say that? It might be that the others are on the same wireless channel as yours with a very strong signal and are interfering?

  • How do I delete a wireless network configuration?

    How do I delete a network configuration?

    Are you asking how to delete the network name and password? - you can use the Airport Utility to delete a password and not use security but you cannot delete a network name - you can only change it - but to remove the network name from showing up on the list of local networks in the area, you would have to turn off the wireless on the Express or Extreme which ever is the primary router

  • Network problem - 2 networks set up, how do i delete one, password protect?

    I originally set up a new network, but didn't use the software that came with the router. It never allowed me to put in a password. I then put the software in, but it created a second network which is now password protected. Now I cannot delete the first network, or password protect it. It still allows connections, and is unprotected. How do I delete this network, or password protect it so nobody can join? I tried going to Network Preferences>Advanced>Security and setting a password, but every time it does not stick. Please tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks

    It's one router, one computer, one connection- but my airport finds 2 networks with different names that are from my one internet connection, along with other people's wireless networks in my area.
    The first time I connected, my network was named Linksys1. After having problems with this network, I inserted the router software for assistance, and instead of editing the first network, it created a new one, Linksys2.
    Now there are two networks, Linksys1 is unprotected, and Linksys2 is protected. I cannot modify or delete Linksys1, but I (and other people) can still connect to it. When I go to the router link in the browser, all the settings are for Linksys2 only.

  • There are several networks that keep showing up on my airport.  How do I delete them?

    how do I delete unauthorized networks off my airport?

    The other "unauthorized" networks that you see are simply the signals that are being produced by other wireless routers owned by your neighbors.
    You might see anywhere from one or two to a dozen or more depending on where you live and how close other neighbors are located in relation to your home.
    The neighbors can "see" the name of your network from their computers as well, so you might want to make sure that you have a good password for your wireless network to keep other uninvited guests from using it.

  • Can't delete a network I've created

    Hi,
    How do I delete a network that I've created using tool bar > airport > create new network. I've created three not knowing what I'm doing, surprise surprise, I want to keep the name of the third but want to delete the first two which are constantly visible in the airport menu list. They have been deleted from within system preferences > airport > prefered networks.
    When I try sharing my internet connection i get a dialog box that states non of my networks are accessible and do I want to join the '(the name of second one)' I created. Where is it storing this information for me to delete.
    Short of not getting a solution on this forum then I'll wipe the hard drive as a last resort rid my system of them.
    Can anyone advise?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Do you have a backed up configuration file that doesn't have this change? If so you can try to revert to factory settings and then reload the file. If you don't have such a file back up your current Base Station settings to a file, revert to backup settings and then reacquire the Airport load up your configuration file, make the changes you want and then update the Base Station.
    Let me modify this answer a bit? are you using your Mac as a base station or do you have a saucer? A more exact description of your setup would be helpful.

  • How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was fine until the last update. It says my whole name's guest network which I do not want everyone seeing. There is no guest network setting in my airport utility.

    How can I delete the guest network from my airport. It was not showing up until I recently upgraded the airport. It now says my name's guest network and I don't like my name showing on the available network list! I am using a Verizon wireless modem with the wireless feature off.

    Open AirPort Utility, go to the Wireless tab and remove the check from the guest network check box.

  • How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Ai

    How can I delete a wireless network from my MacBoork Air.
    I had set up a WEP Network but I need to set up a WPA (personal) network now and i cant seem to change the WEP network to a WPA2 network.
    Thank you for any help you can provide me.
    LShaps

    The MacBook Air will autodetect WEP and WPA security changes and should allow you to reconnect again. If the password stored in the Mac is wrong, it will ask you to enter it again.
    With that said, to forget a network do the following:
    - Go to the Apple Menu and select System Preferences
    - Click on the Network icon
    - Highlight the Airport / WiFi entry (sepending on 10.6 vs 10.7)
    - Click the Advanced button at the bottom
    - Make sue the Airport / WiFi tab is selected
    - Click on the network name you want to forget
    - Press the minus button at the bottom of the list.
    You may also want to consider restarting if you are having this issue.

  • How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  Need to delete it entirely, as I have a new airport extreme and I named the network the same as it had previously been,

    How can I delete the history of wireless connections?  I got a new apple extreme, and I kept that same network name as I previously had with the LinkSys.   Now the Mac won't automatically connect to the network.  Genious Bar fixed my Pro, they said that you have to delete all the history, not just the network name.  I wasn't at the Genious Bar to see how they did it, now I need to fix the Mac.  Appreciate any help!

    Yes, so...
    I have also closed iTunes, reset network settings on the iPad, then shut down and restarted the iPad. Still, I end up with greyed out rectangular icons for all the movies I've ever streamed from my Mac Mini to my ipad via my home wireless router.
    Again, I have watched all the way to the end of the movie, selcted the movie in iTunes and chosen "mark as watched", and then deleted it in ITunes.
    Any ideas?

    Thank you but I tried that and it still shows up as a network. I live out in the country and shouldn't have any other networks close. I am afraid of a security breach.
    As far as networks showing up when you right click the WiFi icon in the Menu Bar, you will always see those that are close by. I know of no way to hide or remove those.
    What leroydouglas provided is correct to remove any WiFi networks you have previously connected to.
