Wifi history on Mac

Is there a way to see the history of connections to a specific wifi network in the last couple of months for example?

Have you tried reading/searching through the system logs? There's no native nicely formatted list/GUI if that's what you're asking. There may be an app to do that from here-on-in, though I haven't seen one personally. Unless you've wiped them your logs (including archived logs) will be your best bet.

Thanks @Rainmaker Yeah I looked in console app through system logs but coudn't find any records with the SSID in question. Found this online but that way I could only get the last date it connected to the network.

What's your actual use case? What are you trying to achieve and why? There may be an alternative.

Just trying to see which days my laptop connected to a particular WiFi network in the past couple of months for example.
