Connecting your Mac to the Internet is always within reach, no matter where you are, whether in a cozy home, a busy office, or a cafe on the go. Two major connectivity methods - Wi-Fi wireless connection and Ethernet wired connection - help you seamlessly connect to the network. In the absence of these two options, Smart Hotspot is your reliable back-up.

Ride the cloud with Wi-Fi

When the Wi-Fi signal arrives, the Wi-Fi icon will quietly appear in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Tap the icon, select your favorite network from the drop-down list, and join easily. If a lock mark is displayed beside the network, it indicates that it is a secure and encrypted network, and a password is required to unlock the network door. Master the way of Wi-Fi connection and travel freely in the digital ocean.

Ethernet cable, solid connection cornerstone

Ethernet, whether derived from Ethernet, DSL or cable modems, provides you with a stable and reliable network experience. When the Ethernet is within reach, simply plug the cable into the Ethernet port of your Mac, and the logo is clearly visible. If your Mac doesn’t come with a built-in Ethernet jack, connect the cable to a USB or Thunderbolt port with an adapter to make wired connectivity ubiquitous. Master the art of Ethernet connectivity and a rock-solid network connection.

Smart hotspot, a new choice for mobile Internet

When Wi-Fi and Ethernet are both invisible, the personal hotspot on your iPhone or iPad will be your savior, so that your Mac and smart devices can go hand in hand to explore the Internet. Learn how to build a bridge through your iPhone or iPad and start the next chapter in mobile connectivity.

Anytime, anywhere, with the Internet

At home: Your ISP may have paved the way for you with Wi-Fi or Ethernet. If the type of network is confusing, you may wish to seek proof from your ISP to uncover the mystery of the network.

Workplace: Wi-Fi or enterprise Ethernet in the office environment is your daily partner. If you want to know how to integrate into the corporate network, as well as the details of relevant policies, the IT department or network administrator will be your brain trust.

A stranger from another place: A Wi-Fi hotspot or smart hotspot in a public place becomes your network oasis. It is worth noting that some hotspots may require password verification, acceptance of terms of service, or payment of fees in order to enjoy the Web feast.

No matter where you are, Mac will connect you to the world, making every connection a journey of discovery.
