Windows 10: Windows Connecting to Unwanted wifi network on its own.

Okay so i have screen shots but i need to explain first.

Okay so I am on the home wifi where i live the main router is in the Living room and has to Wifi extenders connected to it
One is My Wifi extender its located in the garage below my bed room where I normally am and the other extender is
on the opposite side of the house and barely get detected by my wifi adapter on my Desktop PC I usually connect to the one
with the Name "Eric's wifi" and the other one thats far away is the named after the main network with _EXT added.
My problem is for some reason and it started last night My PC with adapter decides to disconnect from the extender
to me and connects to the extender that is far away from me and it does this on its own. and when i try to scroll up and connect to my
wifi extender it locks in place and keeps me from scrolling up the list. I am not sure of someone is hacking my PC or what but i usual;ly have to reset my pc then try and fix it by forgetting networks under manage networks. I am really needing i fix to where I can just remove them from been seen like when searching for a wifi network and it shows me all the networks near by. Is there a fix for me to be able to ignore networks no in my home?sorry if its side ways it just uploaded like that

its even doing it right now please i need help fixing this.

the first one is the name i am seeing now but sometimes it changes. the second shows a different name.

Wifi keeps swapping to an unwanted wifi connection

** My System
Think Pad X1 Carbon 5th: Model: 20HR-S1780
Lenovo Thinkpad USB-C Dock
Windows 10

What happened today illustrates the problem.

My computer was on and my wifi (my-wifi) was working.

**** “My-wifi”
The computer normally shows my-wifi as “connected, secured”. Settings for my-wifi show:
. “connect automatically when in range” = on
. Private network
. use random addresses = off
. set as metered connection = off.
. IP assignment = automatic DHCP
. protocol = 802.1ac
. Security = WPA2-personal
. Description = intel R dual ban wireless AC 8265

After restarting my computer and I had no wifi / internet connection. It did not connect to my-wifi.

**** wifi source SG-A15050529

My computer offered me a “disconnect” from SG-A15050529 - and so seems be connected to this source. This is confusing as it seemed to be connected and yet I had no internet.

I do not know the source of this wifi. No-one in this house has a Samsung Galaxy mobile. One guess is that this is a Samsung Galaxy mobile hot-spot.

When this happens, I disconnect from SG-A15050529 and connect to my-wifi. This is simple but I want to stop this happening. Sometimes half way through a computer session my computer connects to this unwanted source.

When I click on “windows task bar” wifi icon, I see
“SG-A15050529 Open” To the left of this is a wifi symbol with an exclamation mark.

When I am not connected to SG-A15050529 and click on this it expands to show
“Other people might be able to see information sent over this network:
“connect automatically” is not-ticked
There is also a “connect” button.

When I right click on the “connect” It shows options: (1) connect (2) forget and (3) properties. Yesterday I chose “forget” and hoped this would fix the problem but today it happened again on start-up.)

When I right click on SG-A15050529, this opens “settings” and I see:
Settings SG-A15050529
Connect automatically when in range = off
Use random address for this network = off
Set metered connection = off
IP assignment = automatic (DHCP) with “edit” button
“Do you have a question” and a “get help” button. Clicking on this button took me to a chat “how can we help you”

When I click on the “connect” SG-A15050529 button. I get message “you are unable to connect to this network”. This is confusing as after the restart the computer (1) offered me a “disconnect” from SG-A15050529 - and so seems be connected, and (2) it seems that I cannot connect to this source.

This first started after I connected my Lenovo Thinkpad USB-C Dock. I reviewed the Dock user guide and there is no mention of wifi. So I now doubt that the dock is causing this.

I tried opening settings . wifi > manage known networks with filter = “all” but SG-A15050529 is not on the list of networks even though it is shown in the list when I click on the task bar wifi icon.

How do I get my computer to ignore this unwanted wifi and stay connected to “my-wifi”

 

"Can't connect to this network."


I just bought a wifi card for my windows 10 desktop (a tp-link archer t8e) and cannot connect to my network.

I have the wifi icon on the tray, I can get a list of available networks but after entering the wpa key for my network it just shows the message "Can't connect to this network."

Network diagnosis just suggested connecting to a wifi network (why didn't I think of that...), does anyone here have any clue as to what the problem could be?

UPDATE: Just noticed that the wifi adapter is being disabled briefly just after I enter the network password, no idea what's going on.
