Hello Leadhead9,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

From your question, it sounds like you are not able to join your home Wi-Fi network unless you join another network first. To troubleshoot this situation, I would recommend working through the steps outlined in the attached article under OS X Lion and earlier, regardless of the operating system you are running.

Have a great day,
