Here’s how to connect to Wi-Fi on your Mac:
1. Look for the Wi-Fi icon:
- Locate the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar at the top right corner of your screen. It usually looks like a series of bars with radio waves.
2. Choose a network:
- Click on the Wi-Fi icon. This will display a list of available Wi-Fi networks nearby.
- You should see the names of the networks within range.
3. Join the network:
- Click on the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to.
4. Enter the password (if needed):
- If the network is password-protected, you will be prompted to enter the password.
- If you don’t know the password, you’ll need to get it from the network owner.
- Some public Wi-Fi networks may require you to agree to terms and conditions before you can connect.
5. Click “Join”:
- Once you’ve entered the password (if required), click the “Join” button.
6. Wait for connection:
- Your Mac will attempt to connect to the network. This may take a few seconds.
Additional options:

Connect to a hidden network:
- If the network you want to connect to is hidden, you can still join it by clicking on “Other Networks” at the bottom of the list and following the on-screen instructions. You’ll need to know the network name, security type, and password.

Advanced settings:
- Click on “Open Network Preferences” at the bottom of the Wi-Fi menu for more advanced settings related to Wi-Fi connections on your Mac.
