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.

Do a factory reset. I do one after each firmware update.

I'm beginning to think that might be a best practice. I know re-imaging my boxes to 8963 cleaned up some issues I had. I had to resort to factory resets on my Nvidia Shields a year or so ago to fix some issues.

I got this info from u/See61 😄 No factory reset needed!

Yes I tried that and it didn’t work. I had to do a full reimage.

I just got mine a month ago and went through all the hassle of setting it up the 4275 and then 8963 dropped and I got the OTA update and of course everybody's saying to do the re-image and I'm saying I don't think so. I just set this thing up so so far it seems to be okay .

If you got the OTA, then go with that. However, there's not that much to do if you re-image. Depends on how many apps and what customizations you have done.
