I’ve got a Wi-Fi extender that I use when I’m working out back, but my phone will randomly connect to it when I’m in the house and would prefer it connect to the home Wi-Fi.

is there any way yet to tell my phone to prioritize a network?

    I’m still waiting for operating systems to have the ability via ui buttons to prioritize ethernet over wifi. I’m sure there’s a bunch of Linux terminal stuff you can do instead but meh.

      At least on my KDE Plasma you can assign a priority number to every single connection, using the UI itself, no terminal fiddling. For example, if you know one that you ALWAYS want to connect to, you can assign it a very high value, etc.
