A6210 genie switching networks
My wifi adapter will randomly switch networks to open ones that do not work, and I can't find a way to stop this. Any ideas?

are you on windows?
If so, go in and forget those networks.

You have posted your message in the section of this community given over to Mobile Routers, Hotspots & Modems. (This is easily done, given Netgear's complicated community structure.)
Many questions apply to different types of device, so you might get responses here, but a USB adapter isn't much like a mobile modem/hotspot, so you might get more help, and find earlier questions and answers specific to your hardware, in the appropriate section for your device. That's probably here:
WiFi Adapters - NETGEAR Communities
In the meantime you could visit the support pages:
Support | NETGEAR
Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
You may have done this already. I can't tell from your message.
I mention it because Netgear gave up on supplying paper manuals years ago and people sometimes miss the downloads.
