I am curious, if you go into your settings do you have Automatically connect
to non-preferred networks checked?
If this is un-checked, have you tap and held on your neighbor Access Point
and then tap remove?
This should leave you with just your access point listed, and Automatically
connect to non-preferred un-checked.
