I HUNGER
So I'm trying to get my work iPad to not be connected to my work wifi dongle as bloody Apple the sneaky mongrels turn automatic Downloads back on (I had it all off) when you update. Now all my Data for the month has been used because of this sneaky crap.

I do need to use Airdrop frequently (multiple times per day) on the iPad so I can't turn wifi off. I just want to make the iPad forget the wifi dongle network as the iPad doesn't need to be connected to the internet or Apple's servers etc. for any reason while I'm at work. BUT when I go to do that, it says that the network will be forgotten from ALL my devices. HANG ON... WTH? Why would it do that? I still want my phone and laptop connected to the dongle, just not to iPad.

I could try it and then reconnect the laptop and phone to the dongle, but that isn't the point. Does it really wipe that network from my keychain meaning all devices forget it? That's idiotic and makes no sense whatsoever.

Does it really forget the network across all my devices or is it just badly worded?

Thanks.
