Q: Saving settings for two wifi networks

Hi, I use two wifi networks - one at home and one at work. The work wifi requires all settings to be changed including TCP/IP (for different IP and router addresses) and DHCP. I have to manually remove these in order to connect to my home wifi. and repeat again when I get to work. It does quite a bit of time to keep changing them back and forth. Is there anyway that the settings can change upon detection of the relevant wifi network? Thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), macOS Sierra (10.12)

    At home : set location as automatic , DNS server that you are using , tcp/ip it is set by default , no proxies are to be checked , form a network name say " A " , security as WPA2 personal .

     

    At work : when you go to work place , choose as join other network , you have to enter the password and save  , choose network name say " B "and same settings as above .

     

    When ever you switch from home to work or vice versa the system will be joined automatically to the network .

    When you open system preferences > network > advanced > wi fi > under network name two options will be shown A and B .

    Thanks !
