How to disconnect from a wifi network through adb?

Question

I understand we could turn off Wifi through the "adb shell svc wifi disable" command but I don't want to completely turn off Wifi. I want to disconnect from a particular ssid through adb. Is it possible?

Edit: I got a notification saying this question is identified as a dupe of this question: How to turn off Wifi via ADB?. It actually is not. As mentioned clearly in the first paragraph, I don't want to turn off wifi but want to simply disconnect from a particular network. This is like long pressing a network and tapping "Forget network". Essentially I want to simulate a condition of the user moving out of a wifi network without having to turn off wifi.

If you have root access, you can make it by using wpa_cli.

First, you can use the wpa_cli`s list_networks to get the network id of the network that you want to disconnect

$ adb shell
# wpa_cli
> list_networks
**network id** / ssid / bssid / flags
0   001aLinksys14081-2G any [CURRENT]

and then you just need to run the wpa_cli remove_network {network id}, where the {network id} parameter is the one that you got on the list_networks method.

One option is to use cmd wifi. For disconnecting from a Wi-Fi network, you can "forget" it like so:

adb shell cmd wifi list-networks
adb shell cmd wifi forget-network <networkId from list-networks>

You can view the help documentation for cmd wifi with:

adb shell cmd wifi -h
