8 Ways to Fix Apple Watch Not Connecting to Wi-Fi

Apple Watches are known for their seamless integration with other Apple products and services, including Wi-Fi connectivity. However, just like any other technology, they can sometimes encounter issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks. If you find your Apple Watch not connecting to Wi-Fi, here are eight troubleshooting methods you can try:

1. Verify the Wi-Fi Network: Ensure your Apple Watch is within a reasonable range of the network and that the Wi-Fi network is operational. Check if other devices can connect to the network without issues.

2. Restart Your Devices: Sometimes a simple restart can fix connectivity issues. Restart both your Apple Watch and your router, then try connecting again.

3. Forget and Reconnect: On your iPhone, go to the Settings app, tap Wi-Fi, and find the network your Apple Watch won’t connect to. Tap the info (i) button next to it and select “Forget This Network.” After forgetting the network, reconnect as if it were a new network.

4. Check for asoftware Updates: Ensure that both your iPhone and Apple Watch are running on the latest version of their respective operating systems.

5. Disable Airplane Mode: Swipe up on your watch face to access the Control Center. If Airplane Mode is on (the airplane icon is orange), tap it to disable.

6. Keep Your iPhone Close By: The Apple Watch relies on the iPhone for many functions, including initially connecting to Wi-Fi networks. Keep them close together when trying to connect.

7. Reset Network Settings on iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone. Note that this will also erase all current network settings, including saved networks and passwords.

8. Erase All Content and Settings on Apple Watch: As a last resort, you may need to erase all content and settings on your Apple Watch. To do this, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings on your watch.

By following these steps, you should be able to overcome any issues with your Apple Watch not connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Remember that occasionally the problem might be with the network itself or require assistance from Apple support if hardware issues are suspected.

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
