Hi
@bigbaz
Welcome to the site....
Are you at home with your Tomtom Wi-Fi device connected to a USB port on your PC for a power supply + MyDrive connect running on your PC ??? The USB connection >> WILL << take priority over the Wi-Fi Connection....

Disconnect the USB Lead from your PC....
If you want to charge the device while updating it, use something like a Smartphone Charger and the Tomtom USB lead.....

Note... If you are using MyDrive Connect with the default setting then MDConnect Auto Starts with the PC....
I have disabled this feature using the MDConnect Setting Menus & created a Desktop shortcut to start MDConnect when required....
