Is there a way to prevent specific wifi networks from appearing on my Note 4 list of available networks (ie, neighbors' networks)? Thanks.

Help Choose which WiFi networks appear?

It only applies to networks which you've connected to - it tells the phone to forget the login settings.
If some of them are open (no password) then long-pressing on the name should let you block them, which means it won't notify you whenever it detects that network. But that option is only for open networks, and you'll still see them in the list.

Long Press the connection name and you should get a list of options, forget being one of them.
As Pugs has mentioned though, they will probably show up again. I don't believe there's a way to hide them permanently.

Okay guys, thanks much. I didn't want to hide "previously used" networks, only the ones I don't intend to ever use (all of my neighbors, for example) - guess that's why there's no "forget" option. But from what you're telling me there's no way to do it. Very much appreciate your prompt and courteous replies.
