How can I force my iPhone to join my home network rather than xfinity

How can I set my home wifi as the default? I used to be able to do this. Now it keeps going to xfinity.

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Hello arwalk,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

We understand that you’d like a specific network to auto-join to your device. We’d be happy to help.

We see you’re coming to us from How iOS decides which wireless network to auto-join. But we think you’ll find the information under “Join Wi-Fi networks automatically” in Use captive Wi-Fi networks on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch helpful. You can enable “auto-join” on the preferred network and just turn it off on the other one. The other network will still be a known network, it just won’t auto-join.

Have a great day.
