i'm trying to connect to my home network. It see's it and connects to it... but then straight after it connects to it it totally disconnects and the wifi is turned off... what could be the probelm?
Did the problem persist after soft-reset? If yes, did u install any profiles manager (like phoneAlarm etc. which u can switch wifi on specific time) or did u changed any wifi settings using advanced config/hdtweak/similar apps?
I have an issue with wifi where when i use my works wifi it connects and then should i check IP it clearly shows the works network, however...
when at home and connect to my home wifi it still says connected however when i check my network IP the browser is clearly using the t-mobile 3G internet.
It's baffling to say the least. I've tried closing browser, changing order i open connections etc but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
I have a problem with my wifi, at work I connect to a Addon wireless router and most of the time it works ok.
But at the moment I'm having a problem where the phone finds the network, says remembered, secured with wpa/wpa2 psk, then it suddenly drops to not in range and my wifi status is 'disconnected'
It continously is doing this at the moment and just wont connect, the WPA key is correct for it as I have connected fine to the router before.

is the signal weak? i.e are you far from the wireless router?
Im sitting next to router and the signal is Excellent
Is there anything on the router that could be blocking my phone from connecting?
yes if someone has setup mac address filtering
Mac restrict mode = disabled
i have a router that every 3months or so i have to reboot!
i see it in the wifi available list but it won't connect
turn off and back on and hey presto.
not ideal i know but hey ho
could try a reboot on phone too
Since Lollipop, I've noticed that if I start Skype via a Wifi connection and later switch to a mobile data connection (either by moving out of WiFi range or by turning WiFi off), Skype disconnects and never reconnects via mobile data (although it does automatically reconnect if my WiFi connection resumes).
Once Skype thus disconnects, the only way I can reconnect it without WiFi is to force-stop it and then start it again, at which point it connects properly. (Reinstalling Skype doesn't solve the problem.)
Had my galaxy watch about a month now. I have set wifi to auto but I find it resets itself to off. I then set wifi to on and then it still turns off. Any ideas on what is going on? I may have to contact Samsung and I dread doing so.
WiFi shall only be used if the watch loses the connection to your phone. It is only used for the remote connection feature, where the Bluetooth connection between watch and phone is lost afaik

It is set to turn on when I lose BT connection. It can't turn on because the watch has turned wifi completely off
I have my WiFi set to automatic and that works just as expected. Connects to WiFi when Bluetooth connection drops.

I had that problem and I've only gotten my watch for a couple of days. I just turned on wifi to auto when the watch was connected to bluetooth and it just kept going that way for the time being.
Update: I've seen that the WiFi turns itaelf off again after some time. I'm pretty curious to know what causes that.
Have had my watch five days now and have experienced the problem of not being able to reconnect to Wi-Fi..
Define a Wi-Fi connection to be used 'Auto' (when out of reach of BT). But next time the watch is out of BT-reach it is stuck in 'Connecting ...' ( seen in the status of Wi-Fi).
Have reported this as an issue ( I'm in Denmark) and got the answer: Try to 'Reset' - otherwise wait for an update.
My software version is: R815FXXU1BRHB
Maybe it is a router problem. In German forums some dudes have problems with fritz Box router. It does connect only once to the router.
I also noticed that. Probably watch tries to save battery life. It turns on again when you start to do something. Personally I find out as good feature. No drawback.

It is not because there are three options Wi-Fi (off), Wi-Fi (on) and Wi-Fi (auto). The later should (re)connect to Wi-Fi when out of reach of BT (the first two are manual). But the reconnect is never completed, stays in "Connecting ...".
What do you mean by "It turns on again when you start to do something."? My watch does not for the above reason (connection is never completed).
Doing manual Wi-Fi connection to same Wi-Fi works fine. When out of reach of BT to mobile it is connected to 4G network.

I use option Always On. For the option watch turn off Wifi when it is not used at all. Watch turns Wifi on when I start to use watch. It is only my observation. I don't know is that indented behave for GW.

Have you tried the Wi-Fi (auto)?

Not really, I usually need Wifi to connect the internet.

The watch will connect to the internet using BT to the mobile if within range.

The sync Wi-Fi profiles setting seems to cause the the watch forgets the Wi-Fi password. This shows up as with that "connecting..." state. Try to remove that sync option from the wear app on phone and see if that helps.
I would like to use the Wi-Fi (auto) setting, but for some reason the watch changes that back to Wi-Fi (off) by itself. No idea how to make the watch to remember the setting.

Wow! That did it but this shows there clearly is an error in the sync. option. Did someone report that to Samsung?
Thanks.

Just bought this watch today. I have the same problem
Disablem "syncing" in connection setting on phone app cures the pproblem
Same issue here.
Just bought the watch and set it on Always on wifi but noticed that it disconnects after some time and then refuses to connect to the same SSID. It either says, authentication error, cannot connect to ...., or doesn't say anything.
Restarting the watch fixes it temporarily.
Keeping it on Auto, does not change from bluetooth to wifi when out of range.
Sync profiles is on. I will try with it off.
Did anyone figure the solution to the issue?
I am facing the same issue
as per title, when I come home to my wifi, or reboot the phone, it says wifi connected but I have no internet. toggling wifi on off brings it back and it stays fine after that. just the initial connection. any ideas?
