WiFi 0200 Error

Garmin is continuing to work to fully resolve the Wifi 0200 error that some users are seeing.  We expect to have a software update in the near future that fully resolves this for all impacted devices. 

In the meantime, we have a workaround that we can recommend.  This workaround will work on the following devices:

  • vívoactive 3 Music
  • vívoactive 4
  • Venu
  • Forerunner 645 Muisc
  • Fenix 5 + Series

To complete the workaround, use the following steps:

  1. Visit http://download.garmin.com/pub_cert/root_ca/general/general-ca-bundle2.pem
  2. Right click the page and select Save As
  3. Save the file to your desktop as general-ca-bundle.crt
  4. Connect your watch to the computer*
  5. Put the file in the Garmin folder
  6. Disconnect the watch from the computer and the file will install

This workaround will not work on Forerunner 245 Music, Forerunner 945, fenix 6 Series, or MARQ Series.  The fix for these devices is still in progress and expect to have public beta in the near future. 

*Mac users will need to use Android File Transfer to get your watch to go into mass storage.  You will need to fully Quit the Garmin Express program to run the Android File Transfer program.

    well this does not work either. Sorry Garmin, but this very poor quality.

    Nope, doesn't work here either.

  • At first it did not work for me either, and that was because the file was saved with the original filename.

    But the file should be named general-ca-bundle.crt

    After this, follow the instructions from point 4

    When you have disconnected your watch and connected your watch again, you should notice that the file you placed in the Garmin folder is gone, and now syncing works!

    Garmin: Why could you not have done this for us via Garmin Express?

    Well this does not work for me. Also the file is not gone. Not sure if it even gets installed. Still poor performance from Garmin

    Just to be sure...

    In this browser window, press the right mouse button on the link above (the bundle2.pem link), choose "save link as" from the menu (I am using Chrome)

    Go to the folder where you saved the file, rename the file to "general-ca-bundle.crt"

    Now copy this file info the "Garmin" folder of your garmin device, for my Venu this is (Device folder) , then go into the Primary folder, there you should see the "Garmin" folder, and place it inside that folder.

    Hope this helps, if not... I feel sorry for you... but on my device it works (after waiting a month!!)

    Got it to work  - when I downloaded the file with chrome instead of edge it worked. Strange...

  • Your welcome ! Glad it's working! Happy running or whatever you do with the watch *g*

  • Hey JanousekP

    It's the same for me, these applications also worked with me all with chrome. Now no more wifi error 0200 and can sync with the wifi.
    Very ridiculous that Garmin does not do something quickly about it...….
