how to choose default network?

My Sonoma system has the odd behavior that, when I boot it, it often grabs on to my neighbor's wifi (which I do have the password for, for emergencies). How do I tell it that MY wifi network is the default, and THAT'S the one to grab onto?

MacBook Air, macOS 14.7

Try System Settings -> Network -> WiFi -> Advanced -> Known Networks -> neighbor's network -> (...) -> Auto-Join (make sure it is unchecked)


See if that works.
