G.Retriever 147 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I hope someone can point out the obvious to me as I am still relatively new to Macs and even newer to BT Home Hubs. We recently got a Bt Router and set it up and for three days it worked fine - all computers connecting wirelessly. This morning when I turned my mac on it automatically connected to BTFON and then took me to a landing page where I can sign up for BT Openzone. I closed that down and then tried to connect to my usual network and it came back with a timeout message. I went into Network Preferences and moved BTFON to the bottom of the list/ deleted it entirely but still couldn't connect to my router. The only way it began working was to click Join A Network and type in my details again and search for it manually. The problem is every time I put the lid of my laptop down and open it again it automatically connects to BTFON again... then I have to repeat the above. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

alphamikebravo 6 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Try this - Click on the wireless symbol at the top right of the screen, then click "Open Network Preferences..." , make sure Airport is selected and then click "Advanced..." then either select BTFon and drag it below your network or click the - to remove it. Don't forget to "OK" then "Apply" before closing network preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the same can be done in the Home hubs though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
