Maverick will not connect to home WIFI

[Darnon]

Try to connect @ 2.4 ghz NOT 5ghz

Also make sure your router isn't using the same SSID name for both bands simultaneously. Some devices get confused by that.

I have an unactivated LG G6 and several Motos(Ace 5g,Z3 play)that I've used for this purpose.

If the phones aren't activated what network would a hotspot connect other devices to? Is it wifi-to-wifi?

Just put your phone into hotspot mode and use that to update ye'r truck.

If you caint put y'er phone into hotspot mode what kinda phone you got ther bubba?

Yes to wifi so you can use the routers internet
connection. since the sim card is not approved for an active data plan with a carrier. Think of the router being the hot spot and the cell phone only as a wifi signaling device. If you do not need to go through an app on the phone just sign a device directly to your router.

I had the same problem but setting up a hotspot on my phone worked immediately. But it said no update was available all the times I did it. Then one day it updated for no apparent reason. I just put this mystery the same mental pocket as the 45 minutes of chirps, clicks and gurgles my truck does every time I park it.

He cannot put it into hot spot mode because it is older was replaced by new phone and has NO DATA PLAN.

Then you would still have to enter the Home Wi-Fi routers password, which seemed to be the problem. If he could connect with an Android phone, then creat a hotspot, without a password, he would be able to connect to it.

You CAN put "most" Android phones in hotspot mode when connected to a Wifi signal, I do it with my un activated(no data plan) LG and Motorola phones.

On a 2023 Lariat. Had the vehicle for a few months. I have tried multiple times to connect to our home WIFI network. The vehicle finds the network easily. The signal is strong. But, it will not accept the WIFI password.

The password is the original WIFI password supplied by the modem manufacturer. I have tried the password out on other devices and it works just fine. It is a long password but really doesn't have any special characters beyond a "dot" or "period" occurring three times in it. The rest is just lower-case letters.

While on the subject is there a way for the Maverick to "Show" the password in its entirety when typing it in?

Would be nice if instructions included the fact you have to click the small left facing arrow on the lower right hand corner to connect.

I have an appointment in a week to have my problem looked at. I have a 2025 Tremor. When trying to connect to Wifi no networks are seen. I also can't get Fordpass to connect either. Carplay will work with no problems. I've done a factory reset and right afterwards I can see all available networks and connect to my home network, but only briefly. I check a minute or two later and no networks show again. I also get a no GPS symbol too when maps try to display. There is also no Onboard Modem serial number displayed. I bought the Tremor used so I don't know if it ever worked. It's a Tremor and window sticker shows I should have all the equipment for it to work. I'm showing the latest version of SYNC 4 Software. Just looking for any input of things to try before I take it in for my upcoming appointment.

Wi-Fi phone to printer direct or through router do not need data plan for internal data.

Check to see if the previous owner removed fuse #11 from the BCM fuse panel in the passenger footwell. It's a popular tactic for owners fond of Alcoa-branded hats.

Good tip. I checked and it is still there and I checked it for blown fuse but it was OK. The thing I don't understand is right after a full reset I can see all Wifi's around me and connect to mine for a brief time but then I see nothing again.
