Amaya Toman Deactivation of automatic connection

However, if you want your Mac to stop automatically connecting to Wi-Fi, in the upper-left corner of your Mac's screen, click menu -> System settings. In the left panel, choose Wi-Fi, and then in the main window, select the network for which you want to adjust the connection settings. Click Details to disable the item Automatically connect to this network.

Forget connection
This feature is not hot news in macOS Ventura, but it is certainly worth mentioning. If your MacBook's list of saved Wi-Fi networks gets full, you may want to remove some unused Wi-Fi networks from your system. For these purposes, click in the upper left corner of your Mac screen menu -> System settings -> Wi-Fi. At the bottom right, click on Advanced and then for the network you want to disable, click the icon of three dots in a circle. Finally, just click on Remove from list.

Pavel Jelic Ask for connection
Another important function to preserve the device and the data stored in it is the "Request to connect to networks" function. When turned on, this feature prevents your MacBook from automatically connecting to an open Wi-Fi network without first asking you to confirm your connection to that network. In the upper-left corner of your Mac screen, click menu -> System settings -> Wi-Fi. Finally, at the bottom of the window, activate the item Ask to connect to networks.
