Removing a wireless network profile on your computer


If your computer has connected to different wireless networks before, you may encounter problems connecting wirelessly especially when the wireless network name (SSID) is the same with the previous ones you have connected to.  Removing wireless network profiles is necessary if you have changed your password and are unable to connect.
