Why do you cancel adding the Wi-Fi network? Complete the process.
I probably didn't explain it well. On the GPSMAP 66sr, Setup, Wi-Fi, shows the on/off switch in the off position. Pressing Enter to try to turn it on has no effect. It is stuck off.
With Bluetooth on, both GPSMAP and cell, start Garmin Explore on my Cell, switch to Devices and wait (if necessary) for a green dot saying they are connected. Select the GPSMAP. Tap Wi-Fi Networks. It says: "You currently have no Wi-Fi networks saved to your device" (which is untrue). Tap Add a Network.
Now go back to the GPSMAP and press Enter on the Wi-Fi page: and it works. Wi-Fi turns on, saved network is shown, and it automatically connects.
Somehow, just tapping "Add a network" in Explore on the cell un-sticks Wi-Fi on the GPSMAP. So I don't complete the process because there is nothing to do - the saved network is already there.
But the next time the GPSMAP turns on, Wi-Fi is again stuck off.
Now, I've been told that I have to remove the network from the GPSMAP and then add it with (a) Garmin Explore, or (b) Garmin Connect, or (c) Garmin Express on a Windows PC, and that will fix the problem. I've tried it with Explore, and I even loaded Connect and tried that. Same result - it works, until next restart, then it is stuck off. (I haven't tried Express because it doesn't run on anything I own.)
It isn't really a big deal, since I don't use the GPSMAP Wi-Fi for much, but at some point I'll probably ask Garmin for help.
