Do HouseKeeping on Your Macbook Wireless Connections

Have you ever wondered why your MacBook's wireless takes longer and longer to connect? I've finally found the configuration in the Mac for you to "prune" the number of wireless networks you have connected, and set the priority in which the Mac should try to connect to those networks. In addition, you can set it such that it will connect to preferred networks first, before attempting to connect to other networks.

Please do the following to activate the above change:

1. Click on the Apple Logo from the top left hand corner
2. Goto Location > Network Preferences
3. Click on the AirPort and Click on Configure (Airport is your wireless for the Mac)
   
4. Under By default, join , choose Preferred networks. That means you prefer to connect the networks indicated in the list shown
5. The list of networks shown in this screen are all the networks that you have connected to so far. The network on top will be the first network the Mac will try to connect to. You can re-order the list by clicking on the network name and dragging it to the top
6. To add a network, click on the + button
   
7. To remove a network listed, click on the network, and click on the - button
8. To edit the network listed, click on the network, and click on the Edit button. You will be able to change the password
9. Click on the Apply Now button at the bottom right hand corner to save your changes

That's all to it. I've been searching for this feature high and low because I was wondering why my wireless takes such a long time to connect. :)
