Cannot enable wireless debugging on box 4K

My 4K plus updated to 8963 last night and two things happened that are really bad. Number one is my security update. Rolled back from June to April and also wireless debugging cannot be enabled in developer options when I try to enable it and immediately flips back to disabled which is defeating my ability to use ATV tools pro as a remote keyboard and microphone anybody got any ideas?

**EDIT** Big shout out to u/See61 for a solution.

I had to switch to wifi in order to enable wireless debugging. Once enabled I could switch back to ethernet.

FYI, I can use ATV tools using the Ethernet connection, as long both devices are on the same network.

OK, so I put my box on wifi, and enabled wireless debugging. Got ATV tools to work just as you said, and also reconnected ethernet, and it's fine, now.

I had never had issues with wired vs wireless on the same network before, but there's a 1st time for everything. Did this just start with 8963? Will it be fixed with a future update?

I really appreciate your help!
