Maybe this is too much of a blanket conclusion but, I get the impression that Job 2 2021 F150's are not getting and are not scheduled for any OTA's.
This is the conclusion based on the number of responses I see that there are no OTA's scheduled.
My 21 PowerBoost had a dozen module updates which performed via FDRS but, has not had a single OTA scheduled since I drove it off the lot 11/2021.
Has anyone with a Job 2 2021 F150 received an OTA?
If I'm wrong then, that's what happens with assumptions!

I wish they would make a software update that saved my preference for sport mode

Come in Ford, let’s fix this half baked software and make OTA updates really work. If you are monitoring this thread you know many like myself have almost given up trying to connect.

There haven't been any updates so far that require Wifi, so your wifi issues aren't preventing OTA.

The issue you are having may be due to your router being configured for band steering. With Sync 4/4a vehicles, band steering seems to screw up the connection attempt to Wifi. Ford should fix it, but odds are there have been barely any complaints on it, or it just isn't high on the list. I had the same problem and turned off band steering on my garage access point and the truck has connected perfectly ever since.

Mine is a '22 but I'm sure your logic still applies.

Here is a September build 2021, so well into Job 2, that has received OTA. It happened to be one of the recent VINs I looked up for a user on here, so wasn't even that difficult to track down.

As most Job 2s have all but one or two OTAs, it makes sense Ford would prioritize Job 1s who have been promised Blue Cruise since 3rd quarter 2021 over Job 2 owners who are missing almost nothing except maybe camera views while in motion. Hopefully they expand their OTA deployment capabilities where they can just push all trucks nearly simultaneously, or at least where a new update can go out to all applicable vehicles within a month.

So yesterday is the first evidence. Good to know! What are the release notes? Thanks!

It was the 2.8.2 update, so the one that enables BlueCruise for trucks that don't already have it enabled, but also prepared the system to receive more complex updates in the future.

I have a job 2 powerboost and received a power up update on June 20th. It was updated to 2.8.2 with another update to come soon.

I didn't get an update but, I also don't have BC. So maybe the next major drop.
