WIFI

I have GArmin Fenix 6 X Pro. Till last week it was getting connected to my home Wi fi, and with Mobile (being used as Hot Spot). But now it is not getting connected to both.

Via Bluetooth the connectivity is established between phone and watch.

But WIFI connectivity is not taking place.

I have not changed any password.

I did factory reset on watch and also installed latest software 20.50 via Garmin Express using PC.

After completing these steps, search WIFI button was pressed, but it was still not able to detect the WIFI. I created two more WIFI hot spots at home using different mobile phones, but the watch is not able to detect any WIFI. Further the watch hangs at the WIFI page itself.

Setting up of Network through GARMIN connect and EXPRESS is happening. Network and password is also created but the watch is not able to detect the WIFI.

Request provide solution.

Yea, sorry, 655.35 is the Wifi chipset has failed "version number". That's what I meant to type in my original reply. Sorry, you'll need to get Garmin to replace/repair your watch.

Sounds like your Wifi chip has died. What version of Wi-Fi: is shown in Settings-> About

If it's 655.65 then sorry, your Wifi chip has failed and you'll need to send the watch in for repair. Almost every other post like yours where the Wifi just stops working has been a hardware fault I'm afraid.

Try several times, it will eventually work after the 3rd or 4th. For me and several others in the forum (look for other threads), the issue is similar. Garmin hasn't comment anything on that.

It all started to happen after the new FW "update" (I would call it downgrade nonethelessj

It does.

The only other thought might be having turned wifi off in the Battery Saver. (Apologies for pointing this out, but thought I'd mention it just in case).
