Hi all,
I heared before having the watch that basically if the watch and iphone paired are on the same wifi network, almost everything on the watch will work normally. When I went to AS the vendor confirmed that the iphone can be as far as there is wifi range.
Before posting, I checked and confirmed that:

If your iPhone and Apple Watch are connected to the same Wi-Fi network (an Apple Watch connection to a known Wi-Fi network is established through the iPhone), they can be as far apart from each other as the Wi-Fi signal will allow.
So, I tried at home on my wifi (airport extreme), turned off the BT on my phone (wifi still ON) and I can do nearly nothing on the watch: SIRI is not working, most apps not working, glances not updating...
I checked and, on my computer, the WIFI is not connected on 5Ghz (read it wouldnt work), from what I remember the Airport Extreme is set up to have 5Ghz and 2.4 depending on devices.
What is wrong with this setup?
