If SSID Are Slow to Respond on Mac Clients...

New 3020 Pbox running ok, whew!

I noticed on my MacBookPro (10.9.4) The only way the PBox SSID appeared in my wireless networks was to jiggle the wireless on and off, almost like it was not announcing.

In System Prefs -> Network -> Wifi tab I noticed it was way at the bottom of a long list of remembered networks (accumulated over a few years of travel, just deleted most of them from the list). I moved it up to the top of the list, just below my home network, and it seemed to show up in the scanned networks quicker.

Not sure if this was just my quirky machine, but thought it might help someone else.
