My 22 Lightning Lariat SR Sync system will not connect to my Wifi.
Every device I have will except my truck!
What gives Ford? Does anyone know why and how to fix this issue?

I just moved to a new home that has really poor cellular service. I haven’t yet setup WiFi at the new house. I noticed that I can’t even remote start the truck via the app because it seems the truck can’t receive the signal over cellular. So I’m really hoping that when I do setup WiFi later this week I’ll be able to 1. Remote start and 2. Get OTA’s via WiFi.

Probably neither. Both require cellular connection. You might want to consider a cell booster.

Mark is right, you're hosed with no cell connection.

Well that's fun. I'll try a few different parking positions but if that doesn't help I guess I'll look into something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL68VH5X?ref=emc_p_m_5_i_atc&th=1

I mean the ratings are kinda low but pretty much what you're looking for, it needs to be AT&T compatible. Personally I use a Cel-Fi Go X G32. Although I'd classify it as very expensive, it's also very good at it's job. Went from can't hold a phone call to using a setup HotspotMacRouter giving internet to my whole house at 100 Mbps for 2 years. Until Verizon got pissed at my data usage anyway. But it is, as near as I can tell, compatible with all US and Canadian carriers.

Ok looks like this was a false alarm in my case. Out of sheer coincidence it looks like the FordPass app was having a bad day when I first parked at the new house and I assumed it was the house location having a weak signal since my iPhone also showed a weak cell signal. But a couple days later and the FordPass app is connecting to the truck just fine and remote start is working now.

Remember that the truck uses AT&T.

Also, if FordPass is having issues, look at the calendar. If it's the weekend, try again after noon on Monday.

You could be between towers and the first time you tried you were (the truck was) still connected to the weaker tower, it happens. I don't know the exact numbers but cell radios tend to be 'sticky', only switching to a better tower when it's of clear benefit to it. Prevents connection overhead and dropped call potential.

3 updates back to back 3 days in a row, except for one update, the others were all away from home, also I did not renew the onboard hotspot.
