How To Fix Android WiFi Connecting and Disconnecting Problem (2023)

Wi-Fi connectivity issues on Android devices can be frustrating, but there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and fix the problem. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you address Wi-Fi connecting and disconnecting problems:

1. **Restart Your Device**:

   - Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary connectivity issues. Turn off your Android device, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on.

2. **Restart Your Router/Modem**:

   - Unplug the power from your router and modem.

   - Wait for about 30 seconds, then plug them back in.

   - Wait for the devices to fully restart and establish a connection before testing your Android's Wi-Fi again.

3. **Forget and Reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network**:

   - Go to "Settings" on your Android device.

   - Tap on "Network & Internet" or "Connections," depending on your Android version.

   - Select "Wi-Fi" and then tap on the network that's causing issues.

   - Tap "Forget" to remove the network.

   - Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network by selecting it again from the list and entering the password if required.

4. **Reset Network Settings**:

   - Sometimes, network settings can become corrupted, leading to connectivity problems. To reset network settings:

     - Go to "Settings."

     - Select "System" or "System & Updates" (depending on your device).

     - Tap on "Reset."

     - Choose "Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth."

     - Confirm the reset.

5. **Check for Software Updates**:

   - Ensure your Android device has the latest software updates installed. Sometimes, system updates include bug fixes related to Wi-Fi connectivity.

6. **Use Static IP Address**:

   - If your Android device is having trouble obtaining an IP address from the router, you can try setting a static IP address.

     - Go to "Settings."

     - Tap on "Network & Internet" > "Wi-Fi."

     - Tap on the Wi-Fi network.

     - Choose "Advanced."

     - Select "IP settings" and switch to "Static."

     - Enter the required network information (IP address, gateway, DNS).

7. **Change Wi-Fi Frequency Band**:

   - If your router supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, try switching between them to see if one provides a more stable connection. Sometimes, one band may be less congested or have a stronger signal.

8. **Check for Interference**:

   - Nearby electronic devices, other Wi-Fi networks, and physical obstructions can interfere with your Wi-Fi signal. Ensure your router is placed in a central location and away from sources of interference.

9. **Factory Reset**:

   - As a last resort, you can perform a factory reset on your Android device. However, this should only be done if other methods have failed, as it will erase all your data and settings.

If the problem persists after trying these steps, it's possible that there may be an issue with your Android device's hardware or the router itself. In such cases, consider seeking professional assistance or contacting your device manufacturer or internet service provider for further support.
