Mesh WiFi same network name different passwords

Having a lot of trouble with my Iphone12 pro. I am on an mesh WiFi network at my condo. We all have the same network name, but some owners have their own VLAN with a private password. My iPhone continues to jump to the public WiFi even though I have forgotten that password. The general WiFi and the VLAN’s both use the username “reflectionsowner” and then would use the condo wide password if they have no VLAN for their particular unit.

I do not understand why/how my iPhone continues to jump on the common WiFi instead of staying on my private VLAN. I have forgotten the common password numerous times and it keeps happening.

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.

iPhone 12 Pro

You may try this too...

Reset Network Settings: Only network settings are removed.

When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile or mobile device management (MDM) are removed. Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and Ask to Join Networks settings remain turned on.
To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the configuration profile, then tap Remove Profile. This also removes other settings and accounts provided by the profile. See Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone in this guide.
To remove network settings installed by MDM, go to Settings > General > Profiles & Device Management, select the management, then tap Remove Management. This also removes other settings and certificates provided by MDM. See “Mobile device management (MDM)” in the iOS Deployment Reference.
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.

Thank you so much for the ideas. I tried them all to no avail. My iPhone 12 Pro still continues to jump on the other WiFi. Same user name but different password. I wonder if anyone at apple would help me? It seems to be a problem with my iPhone mostly.
