Desire for a way to remove Wi-Fi connection without factory reset

[shamlian]

It is currently impossible to delete the Create 3 robot's memory of its Wi-Fi connection except to perform a factory reset. This is at best inconvenient. It would be great if there could be an option to forget the current Wi-Fi credentials while in AP mode.

Hi,
I would like to delete a saved wifi connection (the create3 always connects), how can I do?
It seems to be impossible, I also tried to leave blank the wifi forms and try to connect.

Thank you in advance.

my terrible workaround for this:

1. Create a new wifi network (e.g. phone hotspot, wireless router)
2. Connect robot to new wifi network
3. Destroy new wifi network (e.g. turn off phone hotspot), leaving robot orphaned

This was useful for a case where I was troubleshooting time synchronization between the connected raspberry pi (USB-C) and the Create 3's odometry/IMU output.
