I hooked up a new wireless gateway from comcast (router/modem combo). This router gives me a hotspot from comcast, which is unprotected, so I don't like it.
After installing the router, I went into the settings and made a different connection named smith, with a wpa2 password. smith was my old connection on the old router, with a WEP key. Before the new router, my macbook would always connect to smith by default.
With the new router, the macbook connects to the hotspot by default. Sometimes, smith doesn't even show up and I have to manually type it in. I tried network preferences on my mac and didn't see a way to delete any SSIDs, or to make smith the priority.
In the network preferences, it shows mine is connected to smith, but whenever i close my laptop, everything resets, and it connects to the hotspot and I have to manually type in the protected network every single time.
I get a warning when I manually connect to smith. it says that "you used to connect to smith with a WEP key, and now it is wpa2, is this ok?" Thats the only weird thing I see and maybe it is causing the problem.
Is there a way to delete SSIDs? Or better yet, make a certain network the default network to connect to, rather than just connecting to the first one it sees? Thanks
