Nowadays, almost all users of computers USE WiFi networks to connect to internet. Also, most devices with support for Wi-Fi connectivity also have the option of automatic connection on a Wi-Fi network when the device is in its expansion area. If you are used to connecting quite often to WiFi networks in different locations (airports, cafes or other Hot Spots public), most likely you have saved quite a large number of WiFi network profiles on the device/computer used. While some locations with WiFi networks are visited a bit more often, there are most likely profiles that have only been used once. Additionally, even frequently used profiles can sometimes create connectivity issues, and to resolve these issues, users must delete complete information saved about the respective profiles (something that does not happen if we use the option Forget Network).
