How do I remove /delete an unwanted network connection that appears in a list of possible connections?

I have my usual connection point but somehow a second connection point with the same base name has appeared but its name is the same as my main one but with the addition to its name of "guest.

Hi:

 

It depends.

 

With Windows 8, you right click on the network you don't want and select Forget this Network.

 

With Windows 7, see this link.

If you never want to see the guest network show up, turn the guest network option off in your router's configuration menu.

 

The "Guest" is an option on many routers which allows you to have folks connect to the internet through your router's wifi, but not have access your home network.
