Stop Mac From Automatically Connecting to WiFi Networks
Once you connect to a WiFi Network on your Mac, it will remember the User Name, Password and other connection details associated with that WiFi Network.
This feature allows Mac to automatically connect to known WiFi Networks, whenever it is within the range of any previously connected WiFi Networks.
This can be useful, in case there are certain WiFi Networks that you occasionally connect to. For example, you may want to be able to connect to WiFi Network at Library, Place of work or some other place that you carry your Mac to.
However, it is also possible that you do not always use the internet from your Mac at these places (Library, Place of work) and do not want your Mac to automatically connect to WiFi Network at these places.
