Dumb question, but I did a search here and in the manual and nothing came up: I just setup wifi on my Fenix 5 and it connected and uploaded activities. Under Settings -> Wi-Fi, there is an option to 'Connect to Wi-Fi', which to me means the watch is not connected, but my router is showing the watch as currently connected. I don't see any option to turn off or disable wifi. How do I turn off wi-fi to save power?

    AFAIK the fenix only connects to upload an activity as soon as you finish/save it.

    Are you sure your router is showing you devices it's actually got a currently active connection with, or is it showing you devices it's assigned an IP address to (i.e. devices it's recently had a connection with)? You could try turning your fenix off and see if it's still showing on the device list.
