How to turn off wi-fi on Apple computers

Audio

Wi-Fi let's you connect to wireless networks in your vicinity.

When you're connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi symbol appears at the top of the screen.

Connecting to unsecured networks comes with some risks, so it's a good idea to turn off Wi-Fi when it's not needed.

To turn off Wi-Fi, click the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar at the top of the screen.

Choose Turn Wi-Fi Off.

The empty indicator at the top of the screen tells you that Wi-Fi is now turned off.
