Owners of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina laptops: Your machine doesnt come from Apple with a wired Ethernet port onboard, but you can add a Thunderbolt-to. Setting this order means no mucking about when your network conditions change. Likewise, if you’ve unplugged from ethernet, you’d prefer Wi-Fi, but if that’s not available either, you want to use your iPhone’s hotspot. When you’re plugged into ethernet, you don’t want to have to turn Wi-Fi, so you set ethernet as the first item in the Service Order. The most likely scenario for this is cascading an ethernet, Wi-Fi, and iPhone USB connection with a laptop. Click the gear icon and then select Set Service Order, and you can drag interfaces around in the priority you want OS X to use them when they’re available and connected. You can pick the order that OS X consults network interfaces.īut you can choose the order in which OS X access your local network and the Internet.
