How to change Wi-Fi networks on Apple TV

When I first moved into my house, my neighbor was generous enough to let me piggyback his Wi-Fi network until I was able to get mine hooked up. Even after I had set up my own internet connection, however, my Apple TV would occasionally switch back to my neighbor's, which caused problems with AirPlay and Home Sharing. I had to teach the Apple TV to forget his network and switch back over to my own. Here's how to do it.
