You could simply uncheck the "connect automatically" checkbox. The laptop would still see the wireless network but it would not connect to it

Looking at this again, I agree, that would count as "modify"

A. Yes, modifying the properties of the Wireless1 Wi-Fi network from the Settings app can potentially meet the goal of preventing Computer1 from automatically connecting to that network. Depending on the specific modifications made to the properties, it may be possible to disable automatic connection to the network. For example, if the "Connect automatically when in range" option is unchecked, Computer1 will no longer automatically connect to the network. Therefore, this solution may meet the goal of preventing Computer1 from automatically connecting to Wireless1.

disable "connect automatically when in range" should do the job

Not entirely sold on this answer. If you simply modified the connection properties, you'd still connect to it when in range, you just wouldn't get internet service. Unless you changed the passkey to prevent the connection being authenticated. I think it's badly worded.

Agreed. The word "modified" is very vague.
