Setting a preferred wi-fi router.

I am lucky enough to live next door to my parents. As such we inevitably use each others wi-fi, etc. I would prefer my devices attach to my wi-fi instead of theirs. But of course, my devices seem to prefer attaching to theirs.


Is there anyway to get my devices to prefer a specific wi-fi address over others? I know I could 'forget' mom's router, but I would prefer not to. There are times it's handy to have it.


Thanks,

Jeff

No, all wi-fi networks known to your setup device are shared via iCloud Keychain with no way to set priorities. To avoid complications with HomeKit devices you should only add the credentials for your own network when at home and forget any other networks that are visible there.
