Using android.hardware.wifi on TV

WiFi is not required for Android TV and many devices connect to the internet via alternative methods e.g. Ethernet.

If your app is not focused specifically on WiFi functionality and only wishes to connect to the internet, please modify your Manifest to contain: <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.wifi" android:required="false" />

Un-metered or non-roaming connections can be detected in software using NetworkCapabilities#NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_METERED and NetworkCapabilities#NET_CAPABILITY_NOT_ROAMING.
