Try to drag the network to the top in the order of networks.


System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Wi-Fi


To delete the network, select it and click "-" minus button underneath.

adamkkk, I do not see profiles in System Preferences?
Darby95 and local-man, I have read several forums now, they all say the same thing. Your reply is the first I have seen mentioning the Keychain Access. I went there, and the network I want to remove is not in the list. I have deleted it from System Preferences>Pref window, but it still shows up in the drop down list. Hence, it still shows up on my iPhone, iPad, and internet capable TV's. It is my old home router, and I have replaced it and given it a new name, but the old one is still in my drop down list. I have also restarted my MacBook Air and my iPhone.


Any other suggestions?

Thank you for the reply, Ekroop, but this does not work. I have done this already. As stated, it deletes it from System Preferences>Pref window, but when I click ok and go back to the drop down list, it is still there. Further, I do not want to uncheck 'remember networks this computer has joined, as I frequent many places that I have joined and do want it to remember those networks.

Tarb,


Are you using iCloud? I have found that iCloud has an annoying habit of "undeleting" deleted items in email or settings. Make sure you delete the unwanted networks from your phone or any other synced items. I also recommend disabling wireless syncing while doing this to keep from inadvertently syncing. If that does not work, back to basics delete, power down etc. Sorry if this does not resolve your issue.
