the Tesla app on my phone won't at all while connected to the Wi-Fi here at my workplace. It says there is no internet connection (says "check internet connection"). though everything else on my phone (chrome, etc) works fine.
this has nothing to do with the car itself, as this happened before i got the car too - Tesla app woudln't work over my employer's wifi. i have to disable Wi-Fi on my phone and then the app will work fine over LTE. though now that i have the car and i want to be able to get alerts/notifications throughout the day, i'd rather not have to do this...i'm here for 9+ hours 5 days a week, it's going to be eating tons of my data if i just disable wi-fi the entire time (not just this app, but everything else i have to use my phone for during the day)
Any suggestions? from reddit searches i've found people with similar issue with the app on their home wifi, and found out that if the wifi uses a certain scheme, the tesla app will not be able to connect, and thus changing that scheme solved the issue. but i can't change anything about my workplace's wifi obviously.
in my case, the app works totally fine at my home wi-fi, just not the one at work. i have had this exact problem with a few other phone apps (e.g. a MindBody type app for booking exercise classes) so i know it's not unique to Tesla. i just wish i knew a good solution other than having to disable wifi whenever i want to use the Tesla app.
