Setting wifi network priorities to avoid xfinity wifi

By John Campbell

xfinity wifi hijacks my system, so that even when I'm at home, I connect to xfinity rather than my much stronger home networks. I'd like to set a priority system so that good networks that I know (like my home networks) trump xfinity. It was hopeful that wifi-radar would accomplish this, but read on this site that it was no longer ubuntu friendly (and I can't get it to set a configuration file). Is there any way to accomplish such a priority system? Thanks for any advice

Make a complete connection to the xfinity wireless network (including password). Then reconnect to your desired wireless network. Then go to the network icon in the top panel and select Edit Connections.... Select the xfinity wireless profile and click the Edit button. In the General tab, uncheck the Automatically connect to this network when it is available. Then click the Save button. Done.
