How do I delete/remove network connections?

Hello Bobby,

Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Community Forum.

When you connect to a wireless network, the settings and profile of that specific network is saved on your computer so that you won’t have to re-enter your network credentials, such as the wireless security key to connect the next time.  Once your computer is in range with the wireless network profile that is saved on your computer, it will automatically attempt to connect to that wireless network you have previously connected to.

If you have connected to various wireless networks before, your computer may have problems connecting wirelessly, especially when the wireless network name (SSID) is the same with the previous ones you have connected to. Removing wireless network profiles on your computer may improve your wireless connectivity to your current wireless network.

Note: When you remove wireless profile you may have to put the security key again for home wireless network.

I would suggest you to try the following steps:

Method 1

How to remove the existing wireless network profile in Windows 7

Step 1

Click Start->Control Panel, Select Network and Internet, and then click Network and Sharing Center

Step 2

In the task list, please choose Manage wireless networks.

Step 3

In the Network table, please select the existing profiles and click Remove.

Step 4

You may see a warning dialog box, just click OK.

Step 5

Then please go back to Network and Sharing Center and choose Change adapter settings -> right click Wireless Network Connection -> click Connect/Disconnect.

Step 6

Click the refresh button to view available wireless networks. Highlight the network which you want to connect, double click it or click Connect button.

Method 2

I would appreciate if you could let us know when you say "approve it as a home network", did you save the network. This issue may occur if you don't save the network and once you save the network it should not show you a different network each time you connect.  Also, let us know if you see multiple networks in change adapter’s settings or only one network in network connections. 

I would suggest you refer the steps from the following article and check if it helps:
