Solve network connectivity issues on computers running macOS

If you are experiencing difficulty connecting to wifi at MLML on a Mac (authentication problems, wifi hanging but never connecting, etc.) try following the steps on this page to simplify your network settings and connect to eduroam.

Set Location to "Automatic":

• Open System Preferences and go to the section named Network.
• At the top, click the Location: drop down and select Automatic if it is not already selected.
  
• You may need to re-enter passwords for wifi networks.
• Leave Location set to automatic, do not change it. This is a feature left over from old versions of OS X, where the operating system was not as good at automatically selecting the correct network.

 

Delete extra wifi networks:

• In System Preferences > Network, click Advanced to be taken to a list of wi-fi networks that you have previously connected to.
  

  

• If any of these networks are in the list, delete them by clicking the "-" button below the list

  • moss-guest
  • SJSU_Premier
• Delete extra networks until the only MLML network remaining is eduroam.
• Click OK, then Apply.
