Beginning with macOS 13 Ventura, Apple redesigned the System Preferences app into System Settings app. The screenshots you’re looking at within the linked solutions all corresponds to System Preferences app.
Moreover, the characteristic you might be on the lookout for has really been faraway from the graphical interface.
Beneath the up to date System Settings app, the power to pull and drop Wi-Fi networks to regulate their connection precedence order was fully eliminated.
To reorder the underlying community desire listing, you should utilize the Terminal.
Begin by working the next command-line to search out the interface title in your Wi-Fi:
networksetup -listallhardwareports
Search for the entry says: {Hardware} Port: Wi-Fi and search for the worth for Machine:
{Hardware} Port: Wi-Fi
Machine: en1
Ethernet Tackle: d0:11:e5:73:a3:8c
The worth for system within the instance above is en1.
Now to view the present precedence order, run the command-line:
networksetup -listpreferredwirelessnetworks en1
This can present an output much like beneath:
Most popular networks on en1:
PSPL
iPhone 16 Professional
iPhone SE
@d!t!
iPhone 13 mini
OnePlus 8T
Mehul’s iPhone
In current macOS variations, newly added networks are robotically positioned on the prime of the precedence listing. Probably the most dependable approach to prioritize a community is to take away it and add it again at index 0.
To illustrate, I want to add iPhone 13 mini to the highest of listing. I’ll run:
networksetup -removepreferredwirelessnetwork en1 "iPhone 13 mini"
to take away the community. Adopted by working:
networksetup -addpreferredwirelessnetworkatindex en1 "iPhone 13 mini" 0 WPA2
(Change WPA2 together with your community’s precise safety sort whether it is totally different, reminiscent of WPA3 or WPA2E. You will discover it below System Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Superior…)
You can even use the display below the Superior... button to overlook a community and manually re-rentering the password to connect with it from the principle Wi-Fi dropdown menu to bump it to the highest of the interior precedence listing robotically.
