Q: WIFI Settings Sharing (Continuity?)

I seem to have problems with my iPhone, iPad and MacBook sharing the same WIFI profiles. I want to be able to have my MacBook remember WIFI profiles for certain networks, but have my iPhone and iPad never connect to those networks.

It appears that since OSX Yosemite and iOS 8, the continuity feature or possibly something else is sharing details between devices on which WIFI networks to connect to.

Has anyone else had this issue?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hey bradpinkston,

Are you using iCloud Keychain on these devices? If so, your Wi-Fi passwords and login information are indeed synced across your devices. For more information, check out this resource:

Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204085

Are my existing saved passwords, Wi-Fi networks, and Internet accounts included in iCloud Keychain?
Yes. When you turn on iCloud Keychain, any previously-saved website usernames and passwords, Wi-Fi networks, and Internet accounts are automatically included in iCloud Keychain.

Thanks,

Matt M.
