You might have noticed that when you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your Mac remembers the network and corresponding password. So, next time you are in the vicinity of the network, your Mac will automatically connect to it.

However, sometimes when a Wi-Fi network behaves poorly, you can forget the network and reconnect to it to solve connection issues. Or maybe you want to forget a Wi-Fi network on your Mac for security reasons. Here's how you can forget the Wi-Fi network on Mac.

1\. Click on the Apple menu bar item and choose the ****System Settings** option.
