This article provides instructions on how to manually create a wireless profile on macOS 10.7 and higher.
The wireless profile created in the example below uses the wpa.mcgill.ca network. Depending on your McGill location, you may want to create a wireless profile using one of these other McGill networks:
Before beginning, make sure you have the latest macOS updates.
- Click on the Apple symbol and select System Preferences…
- Click on the Network icon.
- Click on Wi-Fi in the pane on the left, then click the Advanced... button at the bottom right.
- Click on the Plus Sign (+) to add a new network connection.
- Enter the following...
- Network name: wpa.mcgill.ca
- Security: WPA 2 enterprise
...set the mode to Automatic; then enter your McGill Username and McGill Password in the Username and Password fields and click OK.
- Drag the networks up or down in the list to specify the order of priority for connection, e.g., they will be attempted in this order.
- Click OK and then click Apply.
At the top of your screen, you can click on the drop-down menu (WiFi symbol) to ensure wpa.mcgill.ca is selected as your wireless network.
