Oregon 700 No wifi Scan

Unread post by pschonmann »

Hi ! I have an issue with O700.
1, Tried to find a network in my neighborhood , but failed. I cant see no wlan.
But when I add wifi manually in garmin express, it connects.
There is a video about my situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JaGG4l ... e=youtu.be
Trying to find network
Saved wifi - wlan - connected
Saved wifi - uzasnazemeplocha ( password with "_" see below ) cant connect.
Tried reset in menu
Even hard reset with user button when booting.
No change.
When connected, sometimes weather app say that need internet.
Wifi ison supported channel.
I see lots of 2.4ghz on my phone, but oregon cant see no wlan


2, In czech keyboard im missing character "_" that im using in wifi password
It cant be added directly on keyboard, but garmin express can solve this problem.

There are some cases where Wi-Fi cannot be configured on the device, such as you have discovered, and setup via Garmin Express is required.

Which firmware version is your Oregon 7x0 running?

Tried to downgrade via gcd update to lower versions, no change
Tried to remove/rename Garmin folder, no change.

Probably this settings is not affecting config files in filesystem, but some hidden config.

WIFI was working fine and working fine for first days when i bought gps from first owner. when i manually connect via garmin express wifi is working fine

May be a hardware issue, and you might have to contact Garmin about that. I do not believe this is a software issue as others with same firmware do not exhibit the same issue. I'm afraid there is little more we can help you with. Please do let us know how Garmin resolves this for you.
