# 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.

##### **Make sure Location is set to "Automatic":**

- Open **System Preferences** and go to the section named **Network.[![network pane.png](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2021-08/scaled-1680-/network-pane.png)](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2021-08/network-pane.png)**
- 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
    - moss-guest
    - SJSU\_Premier
- Delete extra networks until the only MLML network remaining is **eduroam**.
- Click **OK,** then **Apply**.
