8. In the window below all “Preferred Networks” are listed, or simply all networks your computer connected to. Every time you open your computer, it goes down this list to identify any of the networks that are available. If multiple network names from the list below are present at any given location, network, which is higher up on this list will be selected. So you might want to rearrange this order and put CMU-SECURE at the top of the list. And while you’re there, go ahead and remove legacy network names by selecting it and then clicking on the button with the minus sign.
