Wi-Fi Network Selection

Is there a way to manually prioritize Wi-Fi Network selection?


My issue is when visiting my sister-in-law our iPhones keep jumping over to the more powerful neighbor’s network router with a common brand routers default network name (SSID).


Her neighbor router’s network name is common and the same as one I use for work. So I don’t want to be deleting and reinstalling every time after visiting my sister-in-law.


Hopefully there is a way to lock or prioritize Wi-Fi Network selection.
