MAC systems, whether we are talking about notebook MacBook, all-in-one iMac or Mac Pro / mini, offers at least two ways in which we can connect them to the Internet. Ethernet, traditional cable and cable connection Wireless, Wi-fi.
Most owners of IMA you are a mac, I know that these systems I use both types of internet connection simultaneously. Ethernet and Wi-Fi. The Ethernet connection is used in browsing, while the Wi-Fi is ensured synchronization with the proximity and LAN (local network).
If we have a situation where you have to we disconnect an IMAC from the Internet, then you need to We interrupt both connections. Both by cable and wireless.
In the case of the Wi-Fi connection, the connecting and the disconnection is done quickly, through only two clicks. One on the Wi-Fi sign in the upper bar (Menu Bar) and one on the "ON" button.
Connecting and disconnecting the cable connection (Ethernet) can be done in two ways. The easiest thing is to disconnect the Internet cable, but in some situations it can be uncomfortable. Another way is to disable the Ethernet interface.
How to disable the cable connection (Ethernet) on IMAC, Mac and MacBook
We are talking about the way of Internet disconnection without removing the network cable.
1. We open "System Preferences"Then we go to"Network“.
2. In the list on the left side, selctam "Ethernet"We do Click on the three -point circle, then click on "Make Service Inactive“, click “Apply“.
The "Apply" button will become active as soon as you click on "Make Service". Immediately after clicking on "Apply", the cable connection will be interrupted.
It is a simple way in which we can disable the internet without having to remove the network cable from the Ethernet port behind IMAC, Imac Pro.
Pemter to restore the connection, follow the same steps, with the difference that instead of "Make Inactive Service", it will be "Make Service Active".
Great! Many thanks!
