My new MacBookPro with macOS Montery version 12.6 keeps switching from my home wifi network to my iphone 12pro hot spot. I have turned my hotspot off, I have made my home wifi network the preferred network, and yet it keeps switching, which is annoying because I am trying to work with a remote computer and the instability of the wifi connections keeps cutting me off from the remote connection.
Help! How can I stop my computer from continually switching to my wifi hotspot?!
This seems most unusual...
Settings>Cellular>Personal Hotspot>OFF
You are saying this setting changes itself to ON (?)
Do you ever use the Hotspot intentionally?
You can try changing the existing hotspot password on the iPhone.
On the Mac go to Keychain Access.app an search for your hotspot name and delete the entry
