How can I prevent Apple Watch from using private Wi-Fi address?
Good morning! I've been wondering why my Apple Watch keeps
changing its Wifi settings every few days. If I turn off Private Wifi address
in the Wifi network settings, it turns back on after a few days.
This is evident in the way that my Deco app alerts me with
"new device joined network" and the device name shows Watch. So I
have a Mesh network of four access points, all with the same SSID and password.
The watch model is Apple Watch Ultra 2 and WatchOS is 11.5, my phone is an iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18.5.
It's really annoying when several mornings the Deco app
notifies me that a new device has connected to the network, and the watch has
gone off on its own to change those settings.
