One thing I find annoying is im trying to keep my phone on one of my routers(I have two) and if I connect to that other router on my Mac or iPad my phone auto connects to it sometimes. Same with my iPad I only want it on one router only but it will connect to both routers if my Mac uses both.
How can I keep set routers for set devices?

I use WiFi Priority

It lets you install a profile to ignore the WiFi networks you want to ignore will keeping WiFi on. You can physically connect to those ignored WiFi networks through the Settings app if you wish but when you disconnect the profile kicks in again.

Don't know if that's the exact kind of thing you are looking for.
 
On your phone and ipad go into the settings for the wifi networks you don't want it to join to and toggle "auto-join" off. The wifi network settings will still sync between devices but the auto-join settings stay local.
