Hello, I have unwanted (unsecured) wifi networks appearing in my network list - ASUS/ASUS 5G in the screenshot below. When my wifi is off my kids can connect to them. I tried what other people said Network / wifi / advanced / click on - to delete the unwanted networks, it doesnt appear there anymore, but it keeps appearing on my network list... Any tips?

There is nothing you can do about those unsecured networks unless you know who has them and ask them to lock it down.
If you don't want your kids to access the other networks, then make sure to check both "Change networks" and "Create computer to computer networks" in the "Require administrator authorization to:" section of your second screenshot. Of course this means the kids cannot have access to an admin password. They should be given a Standard user account. You may also want to enable Parental Controls to limit what the kids can do with their user account(s).

FYI, you really should not be using a WEP WiFi network as WEP is very insecure these days.

don't think one can, all wifi enabled devices I've ever come across will display all wifi networks within range that broadcast their SSID when one choose to display wifi networks
How to remove unwanted WiFi networks from my list?
