Remove Unwanted Wifi Connection

SusieK · Apr 15, 2016

On my Asus Transformer Prime there is a wifi connection that I can't get rid of. It was originally set up to enable wifi control of my camera. Unfortunately the app doesn't work, and I am trying to remove the connection from the device.

Have followed all the advice about long-pressing the setting to get the 'remove' option, but there isn't one, and have downloaded two wifi connection managers, but neither will allow me to get rid of the thing.

Anybody know what else I can do, please?

I'm running Lollipop and don't have any apps for wifi connection manager because the inbuilt in KitKat and Lollipop work fine for me.
1. Settings then Wireless and Networks and Wifi
2. Click the 3 stacked dots over on the right top of the screen and select saved networks
3. Highlight the one you'd like gone and select forget.

If this doesn't work, you might want to remove the wifi connection managers you've installed then try the above steps again.

Thanks for your reply.

My device is running Jelly Bean, and the three stacked dots don't offer 'saved networks'. The only options are Scan, WPS Pin Entry, or Advanced. Advanced options are Network Notification, Keep WiFi on during sleep, MAC address and IP address.

I have uninstalled the managers, but that hasn't made any difference.

Sorry, I know nothing about Jelly Bean.

You might be stuck with what you have.

I found these directions:
Turn wifi on then go to Settings.
Tap Wifi to see the options available.
Tap and hold the required Wifi network profile you want to remove. If you just tap, it will try to connect.
Tap Forget network button.
