suunto race s wifi problem after update 2.39.20
-
@danudyk Thanks
-
@disadisa Is the wifi working now on your race S with the new software update?
-
Hello,
After Update to 2.40.38 I can’t enable Wi-Fi on my Race S, both from phone or watch, so I can’t download offline maps.
Is there anyone who has the same problem? -
@Dj_afrolexios yea, I have the same issue, cannot enable Wi-Fi in the watch and neither over the app.
-
Hi to all, sorry for late answer. We tested watch intensively. Did not done upgrade on version 2.40.38, still on version 2.39.44. Everything working on version 2.39.44. If you have issue try to downgrade to previous version software. BR

@Dj_afrolexios have the same issue here, just bought race s yesterday, immediately upgrade to 2.40 firmware because i don’t know there is an issue on this firmware, it only connect to wifi for 3 second, then disconnected, tried downgrade to 2.35, but stuck on safe state mode.

@Lukmanul-Hakim sadly no news from Suunto. I have a Race S. I was able to download maps before upgrading. Now not able to enable wifi connection.
-
@cenkturkinan have you tried to do a reset?
Settings -> General -> Reset settingsI had the same issue, was not able to toggle wifi on after the upgrade, but after the reset it went back to normal.
-
@aiv4r thanks. I will try.
-
@aiv4r It worked!!! Thank you.

after everything you already tested, this really does sound more like a firmware issue on the Suunto Race S after 2.39.20 than a router/network problem.
The interesting part is your router logs showing absolutely no connection attempt from the watch. That usually means the WiFi module itself is not initializing correctly after the update, not just failing authentication.
I d still try one last simple test: connect it to a very basic 2.4 GHz network without mesh/repeator features, WPA3, band steering, or hidden SSID. Some devices become weirdly picky after updates. But since you already tested multiple routers and hotspots, I honestly doubt your network is the real issue here.
Feels like the update broke WiFi handling for some units, especially since the problem started right after the firmware upgrade and before the maps could finish downloading.
