I keep getting hijacked by - xfinitywifi - connection link.

[Bankroft]

Hi there, thank you for reading my question.  I connect to the internet via the apartment-supplied access where I live.  I didn't have this problem when I first moved in but a few months after using their connection, another link called "xfinitywifi" has started hijacking my apartment connection.  After connecting through my apartment supplied access, "xfinitywifi" will randomly, frequently and, it seems, aggressively barge in and take over my apartment connection.  I have to bump it off and start over repeatedly until it decides to stop, sometimes over 10 times.  I cannot delete it because when I click on the signal strength icon next to the link, it just opens a tab to sign on to "xfinitywifi" instead of a link management window like all the other links will do when I click on that signal strength icon.  Has anyone else had this problem and/or know what to do to make this stop?  Thank you in advance.
