Is there anyway to have System Preferences create network "profiles" that save more than just the name of the network and the password, but also the "advanced" settings specified by the user. At home, the IP address, subnet mask, etc. need to be entered manually, but everywhere else, I need to use DHCP to connect to networks, which clears my settings. It is getting very annoying having to re-enter these settings every day.
 
1) open System Preferences>>Network,
2) click on the Location selection button,
3) click on the plus sign to add a new location,
4) set up new location.
