了解如何将Mac连接到无线网络(wireless network)可以在各种情况下派上用场。也许您刚刚在 macOS 上运行了一台新设备，或者您想将您的MacBook连接到您最喜欢的咖啡店(coffee shop)的Wi-Fi。无论哪种方式，本指南旨在为您提供将Mac连接到任何无线网络(wireless network)所需的所有信息。这比您想象的要容易，所以让我们开始吧：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南涵盖 macOS Mojave或更新版本。我们指南中共享的功能可能不适用于旧版本的 macOS。要检查您的 macOS 版本，请阅读我有什么版本的 macOS？
方法 1：使用菜单栏中(menu bar)的网络列表连接到 Wi-Fi 网络
菜单栏提供了控制(menu bar)Wi-Fi连接的最简单、最快捷的方式。它允许您打开或关闭Wi-Fi并切换您连接的网络，只需单击两次或轻按两次即可。Wi-Fi图标应该出现在屏幕右上角的菜单栏上。(menu bar)如果您在菜单栏中(menu bar)找不到此图标，请阅读Mac上的Wi-Fi图标在哪里(Where)？如何启用或隐藏它。
如果您的Wi-Fi已关闭，Wi-Fi图标看起来会略有不同，因此您必须单击或点击它，然后按“打开 Wi-Fi ("Turn Wi-Fi On)”。
单击(Click)Wi-Fi图标会打开一个菜单，其中列出了您所在地区的可用网络。复选符号(check sign)表示您当前连接到的网络。如果网络受密码保护，则会在其旁边显示一个锁。每个网络的信号强度由Wi-Fi(Wi-Fi)名称旁边显示的白色弧线的数量表示- 白色弧线越多，该Wi-Fi的信号越好。单击(Click)或点击要连接的Wi-Fi 网络。(Wi-Fi network)
当今大多数 Wi-Fi 网络都受密码保护，因此您很可能需要输入密码。如果您在公共场所，密码应该显示在某处，或者那里的工作人员应该能够提供给您。输入网络密码，然后单击(password and click)或点击加入(Join)。
如果这是您经常使用的网络，您应该选择“记住此网络”("Remember this network")以避免每次连接时都必须输入密码。
方法 2：使用“系统(System)偏好设置”中的“网络”面板(Network pane)连接到 Wi-Fi 网络
如果菜单栏中(menu bar)显示Wi-Fi 图标(Wi-Fi icon)，请单击或点击(click or tap)它，然后按底部的“打开网络首选项” 。("Open Network Preferences")或者，从Apple 菜单(Apple menu)转到系统偏好设置(System Preferences)，然后单击或点击网络(Network)。
如果您的设备当前未连接到网络，您应该会看到下图。单击或点击(Click)网络名称(Network Name)字段旁边的箭头。
将显示可用 Wi-Fi 网络列表，您可以通过单击或点击其名称来选择要使用的网络。
如果网络受密码保护，则会在其旁边显示一个锁，您必须输入密码才能加入。确保(Make)选中“记住此网络”("Remember this network")选项，以避免每次都输入密码。
如果这是您经常使用的网络，您还应该启用“自动加入此网络”选项。("Automatically join this network")然后，单击或点击(click or tap) 应用(Apply)。
方法 3：使用网络窗格(Network pane)中的Wi-Fi高级(Advanced)选项连接到Wi-Fi网络(Wi-Fi)
按菜单栏中(menu bar)的 Wi-Fi 图标，然后按底部的“打开网络首选项”("Open Network Preferences") ，或从Apple 菜单转到(Apple menu)系统首选项(System Preferences)，然后单击或点击网络(Network)。
然后，确保从左侧列表中选择了Wi-Fi ，然后(Wi-Fi)单击或点击(click or tap) 高级(Advanced)。
高级(Advanced)选项的Wi-Fi选项卡打开，显示您的首选网络(Preferred Networks)。按列表下方的+ (plus sign)按钮。
将弹出一个新窗口，要求您输入添加 Wi-Fi 网络配置文件(Add a Wi-Fi network profile)所需的详细信息。
您现在有两个选择。更舒适的选择是单击或点击“显示网络”(Show Networks)按钮。
这将打开一个可用网络列表。选择您要使用的，然后单击或点击加入(Join)。
另一个选项是输入网络名称(Network Name)，然后从下拉列表中选择相应的安全类型。(Security)
无论选择何种选项(chosen option)，下一步都是相同的。完成这两个字段后，您只需输入网络的密码(Password)，然后单击或点击确定(OK)按钮。
再次点击确定(OK)以保存您的更改。如果您的Mac尚未在线，这会将其连接到您选择的 Wi-Fi 网络(Wi-Fi network)，该网络现在已添加到首选网络(Preferred Networks)列表中。
如果您已经连接到网络，并且想要切换到刚刚添加的新网络，请单击或点击“(click or tap)网络名称”(Network Name)字段旁边的箭头。
从下拉列表中选择您刚刚添加的网络，您的Mac无需密码即可连接到该网络。
在关闭网络(Network)窗格之前再次确认您的选择，方法是单击或点击应用(Apply)。
提示：(TIP:)通常，我们建议您不要连接到未知的 Wi-Fi 网络。这样做会带来安全风险，因为您可以让潜在的黑客更容易访问您的macOS 设备(macOS device)和个人数据。

3 ways to connect to Wi-Fi on a Mac
Knowing how to connect your Mac to a wireless network can come in handy in a variety of situations. Maybe you just got a new device running on macOS, or you want to connect yоur MаcBook to the Wi-Fi in your favorite coffee ѕhop. Either way, thіs guide aims to give you all thе information you need to connect your Mac to any wireless network. It іs easier than you think, so let's get started:
NOTE: This guide covers macOS Mojave or newer. The features shared in our guide may not work on older versions of macOS. To check your macOS version, read What version of macOS do I have?
Method 1: Connect to a Wi-Fi network using the networks list from the menu bar
The menu bar offers the easiest and fastest way to control your Wi-Fi connections. It allows you to turn Wi-Fi on or off and to switch the network to which you are connected with just two clicks or taps. The Wi-Fi icon should be present on the menu bar, in the upper-right section of your screen. If you can't find this icon in your menu bar, read Where is the Wi-Fi icon on a Mac? How to enable it or hide it.
If your Wi-Fi is turned off, the Wi-Fi icon looks slightly different, so you have to click or tap on it and then press "Turn Wi-Fi On."
Clicking on the Wi-Fi icon opens a menu that lists the networks available in your area. A check sign indicates the network that you are currently connected to. If a network is password-protected, a lock is displayed next to it. The signal strength for each network is indicated by how many white arcs are shown next to the Wi-Fi names - the more white arcs, the better the signal for that Wi-Fi. Click or tap on the Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect.
Most Wi-Fi networks today are password-protected, so odds are you need to enter a password. If you are in a public place, the password should be displayed somewhere, or the staff there should be able to provide it to you. Enter the network's password and click or tap Join.
If this is a network that you use often, you should choose to "Remember this network" to avoid having to enter the password each time you connect to it.
Method 2: Connect to a Wi-Fi network using the Network pane in System Preferences
If the Wi-Fi icon is displayed in your menu bar, click or tap on it and then press on "Open Network Preferences" at the bottom. Alternatively, go to System Preferences from the Apple menu and then click or tap on Network.
If your device is not currently connected to a network, you should see the image below. Click or tap the arrows next to the Network Name field.
A list of available Wi-Fi networks is displayed, and you can select the one that you want to use by clicking or tapping on its name.
If the network is password-protected, a lock is displayed next to it, and you have to enter the password before being able to join it. Make sure the "Remember this network" option is checked, to avoid having to enter the password every time.
You should also enable the option to "Automatically join this network" if this is a network you use often. Then, click or tap Apply.
Method 3: Connect to a Wi-Fi network using the Advanced options for Wi-Fi in the Network pane
Either press on the Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar and then on "Open Network Preferences" at the bottom, or go to System Preferences from the Apple menu and then click or tap on Network.
Then, make sure Wi-Fi is selected from the list on the left-hand side, and click or tap Advanced.
The Wi-Fi tab of the Advanced options opens, displaying your Preferred Networks. Press the + (plus sign) button under the list.
A new window pops up, asking you to enter the details needed to Add a Wi-Fi network profile.
You now have two options. The more comfortable option is to click or tap the Show Networks button.
This opens a list of available networks. Select the one you want to use and then click or tap Join.
The other option is to type in the Network Name and then select the corresponding Security type from a drop-down list.
Regardless of the chosen option, the next step is the same. With both fields completed, you just enter the Password for the network and then click or tap the OK button.
Hit OK again to save your changes. If your Mac is not online already, this connects it to your chosen Wi-Fi network, which is now added to the Preferred Networks list.
If you are already connected to a network, and you want to switch to the new network you just added, click or tap on the arrows next to the Network Name field.
Choose the network you just added from the drop-down list, and your Mac connects to it without the need for a password.
Confirm your choice once more before closing the Network pane, by clicking or tapping Apply.
TIP: As a rule, we advise you not to connect to unknown Wi-Fi networks. Doing so poses security risks, as you make it easier for potential hackers to access your macOS device and personal data.
