Title: Is there any way to shorten the available Wi-Fi list in macOS and iOS? Unfortunately, no Post by: HCK on November 10, 2017, 04:05:13 pm Is there any way to shorten the available Wi-Fi list in macOS and iOS? Unfortunately, no
<article> <section class="page"> <p>macOS and iOS displays a list of the Wi-Fi networks in your area, whether they are private or not. This can be helpful, but how often are you able to really use a private network you can see but know nothing about?</p><p>Macworld reader Michael is irritated by the huge list of Wi-Fi networks around him whenever he tries to connect in iOS. He’s in a densely populated city, and neighbors’ networks are all around him. Since he’s connected to his own network and he’ll never connect to any of the others, is there a way to make them not appear in his list?</p><p>It’s a good question and one I honestly never thought about in 17 years of writing about Wi-Fi. The network scanning features built into Wi-Fi user interfaces on every platform I can think of that let you select a network are designed to maximize what you see. They weren’t created for crowded network environments, and a re-think would make a lot of sense, since we mostly don’t want to connect to any network, nor see them.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3235185/networking/is-there-any-way-to-shorten-the-available-wi-fi-list-in-macos-and-ios-unfortunately-no.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Is there any way to shorten the available Wi-Fi list in macOS and iOS?
