WiFi "Issue" with watch

[msalis04]

I say "issue" because it's not a major problem, but more of an annoyance. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why my watch wouldn't connect to the wireless network in my office when I was out of range of my phone. I tried a number of things to no avail, including removing the wireless network from my phone and re-joining. Well it turns out that the root of the problem was that my phone was using a static IP. Once I ran through the process of shutting off my watch, forgetting the wifi network, re-joining (using DHCP this time), and reconnecting my watch to my phone this "issue" was resolved. Unfortunately I now lose the extra functionality (i.e. less restrictive filtering) when browsing on my phone, but it's a small price to pay for being able to leave my phone in my office more often!

You can always install configure a VPN connection to help with that.
