watchOS 9.6.1 software update paused

I am trying to set up a watch but the download has paused, with a message "You can resume the download when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network." My iPhone is on a Wi-Fi Network. "Resume Downloading to Watch..." is greyed out and does not respond to touch. Can anyone help?
