Connect to a Network

Whether you’re working in your own home or helping customers with

a public hotspot, once you’ve set up a Wi-Fi network and connected it

to the internet, you’ll want to configure your devices to connect to it.

Read this chapter to learn how to connect in macOS (just ahead),
Connect in iOS, Connect in Windows 10, Connect in Android, and

Connect in Chrome OS.
Note: Just because a network is visible doesn’t mean you can con-

nect to it. MAC address access control and other restrictions could

keep you from joining. See Secure Your Network.

Connect
in macOS

Join a Wi-Fi network by choosing it from the Wi-Fi menu on the

system menu bar. Macs continuously look for networks, and a list of

any yours has currently found appears in this menu when the Wi-Fi

adapter is on (Figure 27). (If it’s off, click the Wi-Fi menu and

then choose Turn Wi-Fi On.)
