How to "forget" previously used WiFi networks

Can anyone suggest how to remove the use/name of a wifi network I have used previously from the "connect via" screen when I want to connect to the internet or something like that.
I have applied a filter in the WLAN wizrd (which I think should block it, unless someone can tell me differently) but it still gets listed.
This happens when im around the network or not.
This is on the E66, but also applies to the E71.
Thanks

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.

How do i find the wifi network and password for iphone 4s

how do i find the wifi network name and passwordfor iphone 4s?

Well Netgear will not know your password. The factory default user name for netgear is usually admin and the factory default is password is password. Go to an internet browser and in the url windo type in 192.168.0.1 and if I am right a login window will appear. Try the factory defaults.

How can I forget a specific wifi network on my Air?

Everyday at work, when I open my laptop, it automatically connects to a wifi network that I can not use. How can I "forget this network" like I an on my iPhone?

Click on the wi-fi icon in menu bar and then on Open Network Preferences then Advanced then WiFi (or go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi) and select the network name and then click the minus button just below.

How can I forget a hotel wifi network?

I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with apple support and they were not able to help me. I hope someone here can help me with this.
On a macbook pro w/Yosemite
I am logged into a hotels wifi. It is the type of thing where you ling to the network, they forward yo to a web page, you accept their user agreement, select their free basic or select to pay for higher speed. Upon selecting the basic internet, you enter the code the hotel gave you and you are signed in. Any subsequent times to select their wifi or auto select, you are automatically logged in. This is what I did.
Well, the hotel basic is incredibly slow so I want to change and pay for higher speed internet. The issue is I can't get rid of the automatic login to basic. I did the following, some before, during, and after the apple support call:
Network preferences - advanced - forget network
erased all keychain saved passwords an keys
deleted all saved wifi networks
deleted web history
deleted cache
deleted cookies
deleted several other things as directed by support
emptied recycle bin
emptied secure recycle bin
restarted after each.
There is literally no saved settings or passwords left. I go to select the network, select it, it automatically logs me in to basic. Why does it not just go to the web page if all is deleted?
Apple support gave up and said it was the hotels issue (have you tried talking to the hotel desk staff about something like this?). I asked the hotel if they could reset the code, they said no. It expires in 30 days.
Same thing also happens on my iPhone and iPad.
It seems that their server is remembering my addresses and automatically signing in. How can I stop this?
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Thanks, I was hoping there was a way for me to delete their connection from my end.

How do I check a wifi network on my iphone 4S ?

I was in a Dennys restaurant that boasts a free WI-FI network, but couldnt logon to it. The iPhone saw the net but would not join it. No-one else could get onto the network either. This has happened in other locations too.
My home network is via the Telus phone line. I noticed that on this network, according to Speedtest.net, the internet speed is not very good, i.e. download 5.96 MB, Up 0.43 Mb/s, ping 62ms
Thanks for any ideas on making it easier to join free networks that wont be joined, and speed up access on a slow networks

If others are having problems getting on the network, it's probably a problem on the network, but I think you understand that. If the network is broken and it doesn't belong to you, the only way to 'bypass this' is to disconnect from the WiFi network and use 3G. That or complain to the manager... I doubt that will do you much good. They can barely figure out how to fry eggs, much less do anything with their network.

E66 How do I email using WiFi instead of GPRS?

Hi, this is probably a really simple question.
How do I get my E66 to connect to my mail server using a WIFI network, and not the default GPRS network?
Thanks in advance (p.s. love this phone )

Hi,
I have an E61, so I can only guess, going from what works on my phone:
- You have to set up Access_Points somewhere, right? You can then assign a default Access Point or you can set the phone to always prompt you which one to use. Setting your Wifi as default AP will work fine if you always connect to the same one if you do - it will still prompt you to choose one when that isn´t available.
- There is a built-in WIFI tool. Assuming you have set it up to always prompt you for the AP to use, you can choose "Search for WIFI".
- There are third-party apps you can install. I´m currently testing wefi, it´s working quite well. A few annoying things like it prompts you to set if you want it to start automatically when your phone (re-)starts and it somehow won´t take No for an answer, but you can then set an AP to "Automatic wefi" and it will connect to whatever open spot it can find.

What is the best app for following of the download? I mean how much I downloaded using WIFI and how much 3D download.

I would like to follow the amount of MB I downloaded and to know how much data was downloaded using WIFI and how much using 3G (internet connection by phone network provider as AT&T and so...).
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Personally I have tried LogMeIn Ignition, Splashtop, and AlwaysOnPC, as well as TeamViewer. Although LogMeIn Ignition is expensive I would also have to say that it is the best one I've tried. Apart from viewing the computer's screen, you can access the files and folders in a standalone file browser interface without seeing the computer's screen, this speeds things up a lot.
As for security, I'm not too sure, as the website for LogMeIn does not seem to list the details. But as with any other internet based service, like email and social networking sites, an additional account of any sort will increase your vulnerability, even if it's just by that small amount. You can try accessing the computer through a VPN when on a public wifi network for added security. However about the virus, I don't think that is possible... No need to worry about your iPad getting a virus.

How would I contain guest Wifi network in firewall?

I would like to implement a guest wifi network on my preexisting private network and can't figure out the security on my firewall. Currently the link connecting my private network to the internet is functioning fine and I really don't want to change this link into a trunk as I believe trying to reconfigure the trunk and security lists in the firewall would cause downtime. I would like to use a second interface on the firewall (5520 ASA with 8.2 software) as a trunk interface for my guest network and any other new VLAN in the future. My main concern is at the Core of my network the default gateway is the private IP for my internal firewall connection. If the guest network is connected to my core device going to the ASA, how do I specify a second default gateway on the core for the guest network on the ASA?
After writing this I realized, what if i connected a switch directly to the second trunk interface on my ASA and then used this IP as the default gateway for the guest network? I believe this should work but this leads me to one more question:
Say I wanted to allow my quest network access to a specific server on my internal network, would a proper configuration be to setup the ACLs on the firewall, allowing them to communicate to my inside network?

Hi,
Yeah I suppose changing the existing interface to a Trunk would not be possible without somekind of downtime unless you used an untypical configuration.
Sadly, my personal knowledge of wireless networks and the devices is almost nonexistent as we have different people to handle setting up those.
But I would imagine you can use a separate Vlan for the Guest Wifi and bring that Vlan to the new ASA interface only. If your actual core switch is doing routing, in other words if its acting as a L3 switch then you should probably add the Guest Wifi Vlan only as L2 to the core switch and configure it all the way to the new ASA Trunk. Default gateway as you say would be the IP address configured on the ASA itself.
Controlling the traffic from the new interface on the ASA should be pretty simple.
access-list GUEST-WIFI remark Allow traffic to internal server
access-list GUEST-WIFI permit tcp host eq
access-list GUEST-WIFI remark Deny All traffic to Internal networks
access-list GUEST-WIFI deny ip any
access-list GUEST-WIFI remark Allow All other traffic
access-list GUEST-WIFI permit ip any
access-group GUEST-WIFI in interface
The above ACL first allows some traffic to a certain internal server with a certain service. It then blocks all other traffic to the internal network. Finally it allows all other traffic. That would be all traffic destined to external public networks.
Naturally you would need possibly Static Identity NAT configurations (since you are using 8.2 software) to enable connections from the Guest Wifi to Internal network.

How do I delete old wifi networks from appearing in the wifi icon in the menu bar.

Just bought a new Airport Time Capsule and is up and running OK.
When I click on the wifi icon in the menu bar all my old wifi networks appear
which are then viewable by neighbours although the networks themselves are PW protected.
In system preferences>network>advanced I have deleted all my old N/Works allowing only
my new one to appear.
How can I delete the old networks I no longer use from re-appearing in the list under the wifi icon?
Alan

When you delete old networks in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced, be sure to click the OK button, then click the Apply button in the next window that appears.
You also need to delete the old networks in KeyChain Access as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Click on the name of an old wireless network to highlight it
Click the Delete key on your Mac
Do the same for other old wireless networks that you no longer use, then restart your Mac.

How to set up guest wifi network on 1200 series APs with disclaimer web portal?

I've been thinking about this one for awhile. I want to set up a guest wifi network without any security (AES / TKIP) that allows guests to connect. Ideally, their web browser would be redirected to a web portal containing legal disclaimers, and they would need to accept the terms and conditions to use the guest wifi. I would also like to have them be required to visit the web portal again every 8 hours after that to accept the terms and conditions again.
I have a Cisco 1240AG access point already. What else do I need to make this work?

I don't believe you can do this just with an AP running in autonomous mode you would need to have a WLC to configure the splash page.
Have a look here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/7-0/configuration/guide/c70/c70users.html#wp1049273
Alternatively you can use software running on a PC/Server. Something like http://www.antamedia.com/hotspot/
Hope that helps!

How do I delete a wifi network when I don't have the password?

Yesterday, I had some work done on my home network, which affected all my wireless devices. I was able to get everything up and running, but the Ipad. I have a different type of encryption now and can't connect to my Ipad. My nephew, who did the work, wants me to delete the current wifi and then start over so it will see the current wifi network. The network that is showing is my new network name, but I type in the password and I get an unable to join/dismiss message. I have tried to reset network settings, but I still see the same network. My nephew won't be back until later in the week, I miss the wifi.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Nan

I'm not sure if this will work for you, but it's worth a shot.
TRY THIS:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > select 'Other...' > Enter Network Name and Security Password > select 'Join'
MY SETTINGS:
The router is set to WPA2 Encryption. The iPhone 'Wi-Fi Networks' settings is set to 'Ask to Join Networks'
ISSUE BACKGROUND:
I had a problem where my iDevice (iPhone 4) would not automatically connect to my Wi-Fi router even though the name - linksys - was always present. I didn't want to 'Reset Network Settings' yet as there were some hotspots I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of entering 16 to 32 character passwords again. I was planning to try the 'Forget this Network' option, but it wasn't present. I tried the step above as a long shot and it worked. Hope this helps.

How to create a bigger wifi network?

Hello,
I am a macbook user and I have a virgin superhub in the front room in my house, can I put a airport express at the back of the house and connect to the virgin superhub to get a bigger wifi network and maybe get a wifi signal in the garden?
thanks for any suggestions.

but I could do it with 2 airport express units?
Yes, one AirPort Express would need to be located in the vicinity of the hub. In order to extend wirelessly, the second AirPort Express would need to be located approximately half way between the first Express and the garden area.
Any walls, ceilings, or other obstructions in the signal path between the AirPorts and the garden area will really absorb the signal quickly, so you will need to minimize obstructions as much as possible.
You never really know how well....or if....wireless connections will work for your purposes until you try things out in your home. For that reason, if you decide to give it a try with two AirPorts, it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policies before you buy.
