Anyone have a problem with automatically connecting to the WiFi you have set as the Default? I have 2017 MB Pro running Catalina 10.15.6. I have a secured XFinity WiFi Network set as the default, but for some reason the MBP always connects to the unsecured xfinitywifi that my guests are supposed to use.

Thoughts? I don't know if it is an XFinity or Catalina issue. Thanks
 
Delete the guest wifi entry or move it down the list of access points.

Not at a Mac right now, but from memory, go to System Preferences > Networks. Click wifi then Advanced to get the list of access points and their priority. Guessing the guest wifi is higher in the list vs preferred: drag guest down, or, "-" to remove. Can't recall if auto-join is still an option on the main screen: if so, make sure that is on for main, off for guest.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
