How can I make my home wireless network the default? My Macbook keeps choosing the wireless network provided for free by the City, which I get a weak signal anyways... I go into network preferences and choose my network, click on the lock and try to hit APPLY but it is grayed out.

Thanks,
Kim

I assume you are clicking the padlock first correct? Are you using an Administrator account when you try this? Are you prompted for an administrator password?

Yes, clicking the pad lock first ... I am the only profile on the computer ... no password prompt...
