Forgetting a Wireless Network on a MAC

NOTE: Macs will continue to connect to previously used wireless networks in the order that they were aded. You will need to forget the network if you want it to stop automatically connecting. This is useful if you originally connected to UWGB-Guest or UWTB-IoT but are now using eduroam.

NOTE: If you're having trouble getting eduroam to connect, forgetting it and then reconnecting will often solve the issue.
