Garmin - Updates over Wifi not working?

Anyone else seeing this OR is anyone else actually getting connected to the update server?

I have been seeing this for a few weeks straight now. I suspect it may not be coming back. If so, it's another failed feature for which I really thought the XT2 would be a winner. Instead, I'm the loser. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I guess I'll buy a TomTom.

I've been updating via Garmin Express but it was nice to have the option.

Have you rebooted your router? When my tv stops working, nothing else will reestablish the connection. And yes, other devices in the house still have comms with the wifi at the time, just the tv stops. Rebooting the tv does nothing, only the router.

Not quite but kind of...
My router is not the problem, it seems my ISP is! I created a hotspot with my phone, connected the XT2, then it seems to connect to the Update Server just fine. When I did the same using my Major Canadian Internet Service Provider (rhymes with HELL) it won't connect.

Interesting.

Goes to show, not everything is Garmin's fault! Lesson learned.
