MacOS – For a given Location, I only want to connect to one specific WiFi connection. How

macoswifi

When I'm at a specific location, I want my MBP to connect to only one specific WiFi connection available. Too many times it "automatically" connects to garbage WiFi signals like "xfinitywifi" or "CableWifi" that are nearby, and I always have to manually set the connection to the one I really want to use. Is there a way to limit a macos WiFi connection to a specific WiFi signal?
