A6100 - Stop Automatic Connection to Wi-Fi
I have the A-6100 USB Wi-Fi adapter which I use on my laptop in the office. Whenever I open the NetGear application on my desktop, it automatically connects to the building's "guest" wi-fi. Is there a way to make it not do that, but instead, wait for me to select which network to connect to? Or even better, how can I tell it which network to default to?

That's usually down to a setting in whatever is connecting to the WiFi.
Windows for example has a section on managing WiFi. It probably depends on your version of Windows.
Look for something like "Manage Known Networks". Type "WiFi" into the Windows menu. Follow that.
