Q: Apple TV (4th gen) will not memorize my wifi network passwords

I have an Apple TV 4th generation, I need to switch between wifi networks relatively frequently, within my home. Apple TV does not seem to memorize my network passwords, is there an option I'm missing? Its a bit cumbersome to constantly have to re-enter passwords.

Also anyway to lock the ultra sensitive remote? If it skims the surface of a pillow, viewing is interupted.

The Apple TV doesn't remember passwords. If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

You might purchase a silver Apple remote to use with the Apple TV, they are far less sensitive.

VPN / No VPN - some apps block access when using a VPN (Netflix is one).
