OK go to your network connections, then down to Edit Connections.
Go to the one you DO NOT want to connect to, click on it and click on edit.
Under general make sure that Automatically connect to this network when 
it is available is unchecked, then click on save.
Go to the one you want to connect to and click on it.
Click on edit
Click on general tab and make sure the Automatically connect to this 
network when available has a check mark.
Click on save and you should be good to go.
You can also click on the one you don't want to connect to and click on 
delete, but if it is broadcasting it might show back up. So I would just 
make sure it is not set to automatically connect to.

Let me know if this helps.
