Watch not connecting to wifi for map download
-
Cannot download maps to the watch
Suunto Vertical with software 2.50.28
The watch is connected to Suunto App and tells me a wifi network has been setup.
The watch wifi setting is set to auto
When I try and download a map the watch attempts to connect to the wifi network and then fails!!
The iPhone and watch are close to the router.I’ve done a factory reset, but this hasn’t solved the issue.

@Rokelly Check your router, the watch must be using the 2.4 band.
-
I’ve downgraded the software to 2.50.26, but that hasn’t altered the problem.
I’ve gone to Control Panel-Settings-About. scrolled all the way down to the base of the menu then pressed the down button for a few seconds until the debug menu appears.
The wifi menu confirmed it is not connected and there is no IP address
-
So the App is telling me the watch is ‘all set’ and connected to a wifi network. But the watch itself won’t connect to a wifi network. All very frustrating.
-
@Rokelly you are connecting to a 2.4 ghz network?
-
@larrybbaker 2.5ghz. At least that what it states on the router.
-
@Rokelly Make sure the SSID is not hidden and some special flags are not set on the router. This setting made me problems: “802.11r Fast Transition”. I needed to disable it on my router for several devices to work. Also authentication should be WPA2-PSK
And I run into my self-made problem by having only specific MAC addresses allowed and forgot to add the watch in the list.
That’s all I have in mind… -
Hello, I have exactly the same problem—Race 2 with the latest update.
I’ve never had any issues before—today I tried to load maps, and the watch says “Connection to wireless network failed.” In the app, the network is set up successfully.
I’ve tried the following: removing the watch and reconnecting it, removing the network and reconnecting it, a soft reset, and even downgrading to the previous version .18. Nothing worked. Any tips, or is this a known issue right now?
