Touch wants to automatically connect to my neighbors network

Hi, I just changed my router wireless security to WPA Personal and now after I connect my Touch to my network it won't stay connected and when I wake it I find it is connected to my neighbors unsecured network. I click on the blue > button and click Forget this network, do the whole thing again then when I wake it it is again connected to that unsecured network. How can I wipe that thing off the map?
Thanks

    System Preferences > Network > WiFi
    To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network your computer will attempt to join first.

  • System Doesn't Automatically Connect To My Airport Network

    My MacBook Pro (10.4.10) no longer automatically connects to my airport network (snow model). Airport Admin Util v. 4.2.3.
    My wife's iMac also needs to manually find the network. This wasn't the case until recently.
    Any suggestions?

    Do you use AirPort's "Preferred Networks" setting when connecting to the base station?
    If so, try the following:
    1. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list
    2. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    o Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    o Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    o Restart, or log out then back in.
    3. Add Preferred Network(s)
    o System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Configure
    o In the "By default, join:" pull-down menu, select "Preferred networks"
    o Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    o Restart or log out then back in.

  • Mac NOT automatically connecting to preferred wifi network

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem with OS X 10.9.1 (Mavericks) wifi connection.
    I use a Time Capsule as a base station and 13" Macbook Air (2012). The base station is connected to the internet through a PPOE connection.
    Here are the details.
    Since upgrading to OS X 10.9.1, my Mac automatically connects to preferred wifi network ONLY WHEN the wifi is available at start up or when the Mac wakes up from sleep, but NOT OTHERWISE. 
    Before the upgrade, the Mac automatically connected to the preferred wifi network not just at start up, but whenever the wifi became available.
    In other words, after the upgrade, if I boot up the Time Capsule base station and the Mac simultaneously, the Mac scans for the base station wifi network (this is configured as the top preferred wifi network) at start up, but since the base staion is still booting up, the Mac doesn't find the wifi. 
    But once the base station has booted up and wifi is available, the Mac no longer bothers to join it.  At this point, the Mac is also not able to do Time Machine backups to the Time Capsule because it is not able to locate the Time capsule disk over the wifi.
    This situation remains (i.e., the Mac being not connected to the wifi) unless I do ONE of the following:
    1. I manually select the preferred wifi network using the wifi icon at the top of the screen;  OR
    2. I put the Mac to sleep (by closing the cover) and then wake it up.  On wake up, it connects automatically to the preferred wifi network; OR
    3. I turn of the wifi (using the wifi icon on the top) and turn it back on, at which point, the Mac automatically connects to the preferred wifi network.
    I have tried everything possible including contacting Apple support, but so far the issue is unresolved. 
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

    I have had wireless problems intermittently for a year, and seriously for 6 weeks. Apple denied the issue and was no help in spite of many tens of thousands of people on their own discussions complaining. I found a post suggesting a couple of things which fixed the problem. I don't know if both are necessary, but the first by itself does not solve the problem.
    Lock the channel of your router to channel 1, apparently Apple and 802.11n don't play well together on higher channels. When this becomes a standard this will be resolved I hope.
    Open your network preferences, select 'airport' and advanced. Delete unused networks. Select your network.
    Open TCP/IP and write down all the settings, configure iPv4 manually. Enter the settings manually. Turn off IpV6.
    Open DNS and write down your DNS server. Delete it and re-enter it manually.
    This has worked on 2 macbooks and an iMac for the last 3 weeks with no network drops.

  • TS4209 Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

    Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2 not automatically connecting to known wifi network after sleep

    If you are using WEP as a security on your router that is why it won't connect. WEP is so old school and very insecure that Apple has made it so there WiFi cards won't connect to WEP. It might as well be wide open. You can try that. Take all security, WEP/WPA/WPA2, off your router and see if it connects.
    If it does then use either WPA or better WPA2.

  • Airport doesn't automatically connect to my preferred network

    I had my hard drive replaced and ever since my airport doesn't automatically connect to my wifi network. I have specified my network as my preferred network in my system preferences.
    I need to re-connect to the network manually (ie: I need to select my network form the drop down list) each time I wake my computer up from sleep mode.
    How do I have my airport automatically connect??

    Go to System Preferences then select the Network icon.
    Select the airport adaptor then click advanced
    the first tab "Airport" has all your recent SSID's listed.
    Select the desired network and drag it to the top of the list and check the " Remember Networks this computers has joined."
    Apart from that the next best thing would be to removed all the networks from the list and add that network you wish to join to verify its configuration

  • How do I prevent automatic connection to the wrong network

    My computer, instead of connecting to my airport station and network, often connects to my neighbor's unprotected wireless network. This often happens when it cannot login or find my network right away.
    Is there a way that I can instruct my computer to always ignore my neighbor's network?

    Hi,
    Did you remove your neighbours network from the preferred list? You may also want to amend the options in that Airport tab to stop it from automatically adding new networks as preferred.

  • My Iphone 5 will not automatically connect to my wireless network

    Each time I want to connect my home wireless, I need to go into settings and manually connect,  rather than automatic connection, which is what happened with my i4s.  How can I change this?

    I downloaded and installed the latest software for the iPhone 5 (Version 6.1.3) - the version originally installed was 6.1.2.  Same problem exists - iPhone will not automatically connect to my home WiFi.  Even after I select my network and it connects.  If I turn WiFi off and then back on again, it will not automatically connect.  The iPhone screen states "Known networks will be joined automatically.  If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network."  How do I get the iPhone to work as specified above?  Thanks.

  • MacBook Air will not automatically connect to my home network

    Hi.
    My new MBA has an issue. Every single time I open it, it says none of my preferred networks is available. I connect to my home network every day, but it refuses to automatically connect. All other computers at home do (MacMini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac). I select my home network in the WiFi dropdown and it connects just fine. If I close the lid and immediately open it back up, it has already lost the home network connection.
    The home network is first in order in preferred networks. Any ideas why this is happening? It's getting to be a pain...
    Thanks.

    Numerous threads on this issue in the MacBook Air as well as MacBook Pro forums. Unfortunately I've been unable to pinpoint exactly what's the issue, if it is machine specific or OS specific or a particular build of the OS. Mostly because I've been able to replicate the issue across 10.7.1 as well as 10.7.2 on a half dozen different models of machines.

  • Why can't I access my music on my ITouch?  It wants me to connect to a wireless network in order to listen to my music

    For the last few days, when I want to listen to music on my Itouch, it is asking to connect to a wireless network?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Any tunes that are not on your iPod will need to be downloaded from iTunes match, you will need a wifi connection for that.

  • With wifi on I get an automatic connection to a dead  network. I need to delete it

    I can't seem to find a way of not automaticly connecting to this no password network. It is dead and I have to turn of wifi to use both my Iphone and Mac book on the web.

    Try this on your MacBook Air:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.

  • Automatic connection to wifi home network ceased after update

    Can I get the old OS back? I'm having to manually connect to my home wifi network now. It used to connect automatically as soon as I started up the iPad. Now, whether it was asleep or turned off, I have to walk it through connecting every time. Tiresome, tiresome.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 should not affect the ability of the iPad to stay connected to your WiFi network. Since you say this happens when coming back from sleep and powering up, have you tried a hard reset of the iPad? Hold both the sleep and home buttons until the Apple Logo appears. Then let the iPad startup, go to Settings > WiFi and choose the network, enter all of the information, make sure Settings > Safari AutoFill is turned OFF, and Settings > WiFi > Ask to Join Networks is turned ON.
    If those steps don't help, we can try something else.

  • Box won't stay checked for my laptop to automatically connect to my wireless network.

    I checked the box under "Wireless network properties" to "Connect automatically when this network is in range" but somehow it un-checks itself and then won't connect to my network until I re-check it again. The "un-checking" usually happens after
    I put the laptop to sleep and then wake it back up. It also un-checks it when I restart my laptop. Any idea what is causing this to happen since it is very annoying. This doesn't happen with Windows XP...

    Hi,
    First, please try to update the network adapter driver to latest version to check the result.
    Meanwhile, when trying to connect the Wireless network, please check the “Start the connection automatically” option. Then, when you trying to connect certain Wireless network next time,
    it should connect to the Wireless network automatically.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod touch appears to be connected to a WiFi network but cannot use Wi-Fi for checking email and surfing the Internet.

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest firmware from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.
