Deleting an unfamiliar wifi network.

When I look in my list of available networks on either my iPhone, iPad or MacBook, in addition to my home network (which is the default) I see network that has my name in it, i.e. "Dylan Wi-Fi Network". I don't know what this is or where to find it. It's not my iPhone hotspot and I don't see an option to delete it when reviewing wifi networks in my MacBook


How can I track down where this network is coming from and remove/delete/disable it?

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 2 TBT3), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

If you do not see it in your Network Setting simply ignore it or delete it from the list.


>System Preferences>Network>Advanced>WiFi


Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.

  1. Select each network and click the minus ➖ sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
  2. Click OK and close the Network preferences.
