How to turn off wifi autodetect

It seems that the wifi autodetect is slowing down my networkspeed considerably.
Since I'm working on an iMac I do not need to switch networks.
How can I switch off autodetect?

Hi Barney,
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I did try all of that and it does not help.
I find it strange to see the wifi still searching for a wifi connection even when it has allready astablished a connection with the correct router.
Sometimes it looses the connection during this process, most of the time it seems to slow down my connection.
I "solved" the issue for the moment by just using a wired connection. Still I think it's odd that wifi acts so strange.

  • ATT 8820-How to turn off WIFI

    I have a 8820 from ATT. I used to have a curve but needed something bigger. I loved always being able to access the internet with my curve now that I have a 8820 I can't figure out how to use the data plan internet when I am not in a wifi zone.
    Is there anyway to cut off the WIFI and just use the data browser?
    (I know how to cut off the WIFI but I can't get it pick up the data internet when it is off)
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, it should be ON automatically--the BIS service.
    Look at Options > Mobile Network. Do you see Mobile Network = your carrier?
    and in the Data Services, make sure it is on.

  • How do I ignore a wifi network that keeps wanting me to log into it, without turning off wifi?

    I work in a building with several networks. I don't log onto any of them, mostly because they are either locked or they are pay-as-you-go and I get by just fine on 3G.  My problem is one on particular is relentless, it's splash screen and request to logon pops up everytime my phone pushes for mail or messages or a webpage changes.  I could go and turn off wifi, but when I get home from work I often forget about the setting I made 10 hours earlier and end up spending the ev evening surfing on the slower 3G.
    Is there a way I can have specific networks "ignored" without turning off wifi completely?
    Thanks!

  • How to turn off findmyiphone on a damaged screen

    I have an iphone 4S with iOS 7.1.2. I left it on the car yesterday, it fell off in traffic. When I finally realized what happened, I was able to find it. The screen is destroyed but the rest of the phone surprisingly works. No issues with the ringer volume, data/ charge port, ringing, etc. I've submitted a warranty claim but would like to do a factory restore ("Restore iPhone") via iTunes before sending it in. I have a passcode protected phone and it apparently has findmyiphone enabled. I am at a loss here on how to turn off that feature as it's required to be off before doing a full restore. I've gone in to iCloud > Find My Iphone on my PC and removed this phone from the account.
    Luckily my wife was able to use her upgrade today so I just activated my number on her old 4S. I'm now thinking this may have screwed the potential for turning the feature off on my old phone.
    Gurus, please help.

    Hey KG2365,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to turn off Find My iPhone but can't since the screen isn't working. I would recommend that you follow this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate this issue.

  • How to turn off music from iCloud?

    Accessing WIFI in NZ can be a hit and miss affair.  I want to access my music when I'm off line. Unfortunately when setting up my new iPad I agreed to iCloud without realising the implications. I see how to turn off features such as notes, etc but 'Music' is not an option.  Do I have to delete my iCloud Account to bring my music back to the device?
    I cannot be the only person for whom this is a problem!

    You don't have to stop using iCloud.
    You can always download your purchased music from iCloud while you are connected to wifi and it will stay on your device when you offline.  And unless you are an iTunes Match subscriber, you can sync your music to your device from your computer using iTunes and it will remain on your device.

    You do not want your EDGE signal?
    Manage Connections > Mobile Network > turn off your mobile data.
    Now, try only using WiFi and data, such as using the browser. Does that work?

    Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?

  • I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

    Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
    Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
    I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
    I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
    And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
    So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
    Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

    If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
    The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac.  Then turn off icloud.
    Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud.  In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
    Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    You can move these files to another folder to save them.
