Google backup and restore, that's a possible path of transfer.

I tend to avoid using Google services because of their reputation for
data harvesting, which in the past has included WiFi information as part
of Streetview, but perhaps if the SD option fails, then I might try that
next.

 
Perhaps this is what I should try next ...

 
No, this doesn't work either.  On the Samsung, the only option presented
by Google's Backup is to back up contacts, I can't see an option to back
up settings.

  Hmmmm!? Strange! On my ancient Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1" (SM-T530)
with Android 5.0.2, i.e. even older than yours, Settings says it can
"Back up application data, Wi-Fi passwords and other settings to Google
servers". (Settings -> 'GENERAL' tab -> 'Backup and reset')
