Re: Turning Wi-Fi On and Off on My MacBook Pro

[Georgina Joyce]

Hello,

Don’t worry about it. If there’s a cable in the ethernet port it will use that 
connection. With the newer Macbook’s there’s not a physical switch to turn it 
off. During the boot up process the ethernet port will be configured very early 
whereas, wireless requires a lot more running processes to function.

Turning Wi-Fi On and Off on My MacBook Pro

[Matthew Chao]

Hi, Folks.  Am in the process of upgrading to Mavericks on my 
mid-2009 MacBook Pro.  How do I turn off the wireless so I can plug 
in my ehthernet cable for a more reliable connection?  After I'm 
done, how do I turn wireless back on?  thanks in advance.
