Reset wifi settings without factory reset in Android TV?

Question

So I've got a situation where I want to clear all saved networks. How can I do it without a factory reset?



Or, perhaps, do it using the Wifi Manager API?



I am using android box for TV, which is running 6.0

Answer

This depends on your version of Android, in Android 4.4 (KitKat) or lower the only option is a factory reset.



With the introduction of Android 5.0, including Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, and Oreo versions of Android, Google added an option that is usually located in Settings - Backup & Reset that is called Network Settings Reset, which will reset all network related settings including all WiFi, Bluetooth, and Cellular Data settings back to their original factory defaults.
