Why Garmin Not Finding Wifi?

Garmin Connect suddenly stopped finding my WiFi. I have tried all the online suggestions, including deleting the app and reinstalling it, restarting my phone, switching WiFi off and on again (several times), and checking that the date and time are set correctly on my phone. I have also tried switching my home WiFi off and on again (several times), and checking that the password is correct. I have a Google Home and a smart TV that both connect to my home WiFi with no problems, so I know the WiFi is working. I have also tried connecting to my work WiFi and to my mobile data, and the problem still occurs. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, and my home WiFi is an AmpliFi HD. Any ideas?

Update: I tried switching my phone off and on again (several times), and after a few minutes, the WiFi option in Garmin Connect suddenly started working again. I don’t know what was causing the problem, but it seems to be fixed now. I can’t say that I am entirely happy with the way that Garmin Connect is working at the moment, but I will give it some time to see if the problem recurs before taking any further action.

Why Does My Garmin Not Find My Home WiFi?

  • 1. Your Garmin might not be able to find your home WiFi because the signal is too weak. Make sure that your router is in a central location and that there are no obstacles blocking the signal.
  • 2. Your Garmin might not be able to find your home WiFi because the SSID (network name) is not being broadcast. Check your router’s settings to make sure that the SSID is visible.
  • 3. Your Garmin might not be able to find your home WiFi because the password is incorrect. Check your router’s settings to make sure that the password is correct.
  • 4. Your Garmin might not be able to find your home WiFi because the encryption type is not supported. Check your router’s settings to make sure that the encryption type is set to WPA2.
  • 5. Your Garmin might not be able to find your home WiFi because the router is not responding. Check your router’s settings to make sure that it is turned on and functioning properly.

How Do I Get My Garmin To Find A WiFi Network?

1. Make sure your device is within range of the WiFi network you want to connect to.

2. On your device, go to the Settings menu and select the WiFi option.

3. If your device is already connected to a WiFi network, you will need to disconnect before you can connect to a new one. To disconnect, select the network you are currently connected to and then select Disconnect.

4. Once you are disconnected, select the WiFi option again and you will be taken to a list of available networks.

5. From the list of available networks, select the one you want to connect to.

6. You will now be prompted to enter the password for the WiFi network. Enter the password and select Connect.

7. Once you are connected to the WiFi network, you will see a check mark next to the network name in the list of available networks.

If you are still having trouble connecting to a WiFi network, try restarting your device or resetting your network settings.

What Should I Do If My Garmin Cannot Find Any WiFi Networks?

First, make sure that your Garmin is within range of a functioning WiFi network. The usual range for a standard home network is about 150 feet. Try moving your Garmin closer to your router, or if you’re having trouble with your home network, try moving your Garmin to a location where you know there’s a working network, like a coffee shop or a library.

Second, make sure that your Garmin is properly connected to the correct WiFi network. The easiest way to do this is to use the default network name and password for your router. If you don’t know this information, you can usually find it on a sticker on the router itself, or you can look it up online.

Third, make sure that your Garmin is not in airplane mode. This can be a common problem for people who are trying to connect to a WiFi network while they’re in a plane, and it can usually be fixed by simply turning off airplane mode.

Why Is My Garmin Having Trouble Connecting To WiFi?

There are a few things you can try if your Garmin is having trouble connecting to WiFi. First, make sure that your device is within range of the router. If it is not, move it closer and try again. Second, make sure that the WiFi on your device is turned on. If it is not, turn it on and try again. Third, make sure that the router you are trying to connect to is working properly. If it is not, try restarting it and see if that helps. Finally, if none of these solutions work, you may need to reset your device. To do this, hold the power button for 10 seconds and then release it. This will reset your device and hopefully fix the problem.

How Can I Improve The Connection Between My Garmin And WiFi?

There are a few things you can do to improve the connection between your Garmin and WiFi.

Make sure that your Garmin is within range of your WiFi router. The standard range for most routers is about 150 feet, but this can vary depending on the router and the environment.

Make sure that your Garmin is updated to the latest software. You can check for updates by going to the Garmin website and clicking on the “Support” tab.

Try resetting your Garmin by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. This will reset the device and clear any saved WiFi passwords.

If you are still having trouble connecting to WiFi, you can contact the manufacturer of your Garmin for further assistance.
