Can I delete unwanted Wi-Fi networks?
Yes, you can delete unwanted Wi-Fi networks from your device. Depending on your device, you can delete them by accessing the list of networks in the network or Wi-Fi settings. On most devices, you can select the network you want to remove, then click the “Forget” or “Remove” button to delete it.
Alternatively, you can delete them using the Command Prompt in Windows or the Terminal on Mac and Linux systems. You simply have to type a few commands to forget the networks that you don’t want to be connected to.
After deleting them, they will no longer appear in the list of available networks.
Why does my old WIFI network still show up?
Your old WIFI network may still be showing up due to a number of different reasons. First, the signal from your old WIFI network may have been set to a high power level, which allows a longer range than normal.
This could cause the signal to travel further than intended, which would explain why it is still showing up. Another possibility is that the signal is being “re-emitted” by something in your home, such as a cordless phone base station, or wireless baby monitor.
These devices can re-emit signals from other wireless routers, including your old one. Finally, it is also possible that someone else in your area is using the same SSID (network name) as your old router, and that is what you are connecting to.
To make sure, scan your area using a tool such as Wi-Fi Scanner or NetSpot, or use a tool like Commando VM to footprint your area.
Why do I have 2 Wi-Fi names?
Having two Wi-Fi names or SSIDs (service set identifier) is beneficial for a variety of reasons. One of the most common is to create a secure network with a hidden SSID. By hiding the SSID from broadcast, malicious users will not see the network, making it harder for them to gain access to it.
Additionally, it can be used to separate traffic from different departments within a company or different businesses, or for guest access. You can also use it to give different users access to different types of networks or services.
For example, you could have one “Guest” SSID that provides limited access to the internet, and another “Full” SSID that gives access to an internal company network. Lastly it can be used to extend your coverage since each SSID will use the same wireless access point (WAP) with the same wireless network but can be configured with different settings and/or different, overlapping channels.
Using multiple SSIDs can help break through physical obstacles that may interfere with your signal, such as thick walls.
Will devices automatically connect to a new router?
It depends on the device and router being used. For example, if you have a device that is automatically configured to connect to any available wireless network, then it most likely will connect to a new router.
However, if it was previously connected to a different wireless network, you will have to update the settings on the device to use the new router. Additionally, if the device is older and not updated, then it may not even be compatible with the new router.
To get the device to work with the new router, you may need to update the device’s drivers and/or firmware.
Do I need to uninstall old router before installing new one?
Yes, you absolutely need to uninstall your old router before installing a new one. This process involves removing all of the hardware from your network, including any cabling and power supplies connected to the router, and any software associated with it.
Additionally, you’ll want to make sure to reset the old router to factory settings before disposal. If you’re using a router provided by your internet service provider, you should contact them to make sure the router is properly de-registered before you get rid of it.
Once these steps are complete, you can get started setting up your new router.

Why wont my iPhone let me forget a Wi-Fi network?
If your iPhone won’t let you forget a Wi-Fi network, the most likely cause is that you have previously connected to that network, and your device remembers it as a known network. iPhones will automatically connect to networks you have previously connected to if the network is available.
If your iPhone won’t let you forget a Wi-Fi network, you can follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
First, go to Settings > Wi-Fi. From the list of networks, select the network you want to forget. Tap the information (i) icon next to the network name, and then select Forget This Network.
If your iPhone still won’t let you forget the Wi-Fi network, you can reset your network settings. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings on your device, including Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings and VPN settings.
If resetting your network settings doesn’t resolve the issue, contact Apple Support for additional troubleshooting.
Is Wi-Fi password stored on iPhone?
Yes, Wi-Fi passwords are stored on iPhones. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network for the first time, your iPhone will remember the password, allowing you to automatically connect to the network in the future.
You can find the stored Wi-Fi passwords in your iPhone’s Settings app. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap on the name of the Wi-Fi network to view the password. This password is secure and only visible to the device’s owner.

Can you see what someone is doing on their phone through Wi-Fi?
No, you cannot see what someone is doing on their phone through Wi-Fi. While it may be possible for someone to hack into the Wi-Fi connection and access their device, it is highly unlikely and would require a great deal of technical expertise.
Additionally, in most cases, a password or other form of protection is required to access a Wi-Fi network and even if they were able to gain access it is highly unlikely that they could track someone’s activity on the device.
In most cases, it is easier and more secure to simply ask the person what they are doing on their phone.
Why can’t I forget a network on my Iphone?
It is not uncommon for your iPhone to remember previously connected networks, even when you have forgotten them. This occurs for a couple of reasons. First, your iPhone may be remembering the network because of features like Auto-Join, which allows your iPhone to automatically reconnect to previously connected networks.
Additionally, other settings such as ‘Ask to Join Networks’ can be enabled, which would require you to re-enter the password each time, but still remembers the network. If you have gone through all of the settings and have verified that there are no settings that could be causing this issue, then it could be because the network name is saved in the phone’s memory.
This can happen if you have manually joined the network in the past. In this instance, the only way to forget the network is to manually delete it from your device’s memory. You can do this by going to Settings > Wi-Fi, tapping on the network and then pressing the “Forget this Network” button.
Once you do this, it will be forgotten and you will no longer see the network on your list of available networks.
