Smartwatch WiFi keeps disconnecting
WiFi drops happen because of weak signal or the watch being out of range. Move closer to your router and make sure your watch is still selected in WiFi settings. If that doesn't work, forget the network and reconnect fresh.
Smartwatches have small WiFi antennas that don't reach as far as your phone. If your watch is far from the router or the signal is weak, it will drop the connection. Moving closer to the router is the quickest fix. If you're still losing connection nearby, the watch just needs to reconnect to the network properly.
- ✓Have your WiFi password ready if you need to reconnect
- ✓Keep your watch within close range of the router during testing
- ✓Have access to other devices to test if the WiFi network itself is working

Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Staying too far from the router. Smartwatches need to be closer than phones
- Not restarting the router when other devices are also dropping. The router needs a reset
- Using a 5 GHz WiFi network when your watch only supports 2.4 GHz. Check your watch specs
Signs you need professional help
- Watch still won't stay connected after moving close to the router. Watch won't connect to WiFi at all, even from the same room as the router. All your devices are dropping WiFi, not just the watch. Get in touch and we can help troubleshoot the connection.
