Drivesmart 51 not connecting with update server (Wi-Fi)

Seemed to work OK when I first had the device, but now simply get a message saying "cannot communicate with the update server - try again later". Have been retrying all day since 9am (now 6 hrs later) with no success. Have checked Wi-Fi/internet is working, and reconnected the device to my Wi-Fi but still nothing.
I would be really grateful for any suggestions.

Try cabling direct to your router to confirm it's not a WiFi issue, in any case Garmin don't recommend WiFi for map updates if that's what you're attempting?

Might be worth just doing it the old fashioned way, USB to PC and launch Garmin Express.

Yes, all my devices, including handhelds, are listed in Express
