iCloud syncs WiFi networks on OSX and iOS

ICLOUD AND WIFI

Since Apple launched the iCloud service has been shaping the Mac system as well as the iDevices system so that little by little more possibilities are expressed.

Today we are going to tell you how the iCloud service is capable of manage WiFi networks to which you connect with both your Mac laptops and your iOS devices.

More and more, wherever we move, we will be able to find WiFi networks to which we can connect. We go to the mall and we have a WiFi network that we can enjoy for free while we are in it. We go to a restaurant and we again have another WiFi to connect to, in our workplace the same, on the avenue of the beach a bit of the same, we visit our friend and ask him for his WiFi password. In short, what after a while we can store many profiles of WiFi networks.

Now is when Apple's cloud service goes live. iCloud is capable of synchronizing all the profiles of those WiFi automatically between your computers and your iOS devices so that if at first you connected with your iPhone to a certain WiFi network, you will see how that profile and its password are saved in an identical way on your Mac, so if you later enter the range of that WiFi with that Mac, it will connect immediately without having to put the password again.

To see what WiFi networks you have saved in iCloud you will have to do it with your Mac, since with an iPhone or iPad you will not be able to. To do this, go to System preferences and enter the section Red.

SYSTEM PREFERENCES

Within the screen that appears, in the left sidebar you will be able to see the different network connections that your Mac has. Click on the WiFi connections to see the profiles that you have saved.

PANEL_RED

Now click on the button in the lower right "Advanced…" and a window will appear in which you will be able to see all the WiFi network profiles to which you have connected with any of your devices.

AVAILABLE NETWORKS

From that window you will be able to manage the WiFi networks and even delete the ones you want. Of course, keep in mind that if you remove a WiFi network from that list, it will be automatically removed from the iCloud cloud and immediately from your iDevices devices.
