My phone doesn't connect to WiFi: what can I do

WiFi issues are something that affects everyone users on Android. There are times when we try to connect to a wireless network, such communication is impossible, or there are problems with it. It's an annoying situation, especially when we need to connect to a network that is said to do any management or process.

What can we do if our phone doesn't connect to WiFi? There are many factors to look at, which can give us more detail about the origin of the problem, so that we know what we can do or what is best to do. So that we can connect the phone say network.

Having a WiFi network problem?

One of the first things we should consider if the problem resides on the specified WiFi network. Communication may not work, making the cell phone unable to connect to that network. If there are more people or you have more devices nearby, try contacting them on this network, to see if they are possible with other devices.

Yes, and other devices it is possible to connect to the network, then this is a problem from your Android phone. On the other hand, if other devices also fail to establish a connection to the WiFi network, we have determined that the problem remains with the network in question. This results in solutions being considered different, depending on the origin of these failures.

Restart the router

If we've determined that the problem lies with the connection, to the network itself, we can try restarting the router. Many times it is the best solution we can turn to in these types of situations, making communication more efficient. Turn off this router and leave it for about 30 minutes, or up to 1 minute in some cases.

When that time has passed, open the router again then expect all the lights to go on. Check that the WiFi indicator light is on, because otherwise, it is an indication that there is a problem with the wireless connection and that we can no longer use it.

You can contact the operator on the network in question, because there may be a failure, which prevents WiFi from running. Whether it is a crack in the area, which sometimes happens or the router itself is broken.

Restart the phone

If the problem lies in your Android phone, one of the first things to do, as always, restarting the phone. An easy and effective method, which eliminates all types of problems from the phone. There may be a process that caused problems or an error in one of them. Restarting the phone terminates it.

As soon as the device is started, check whether you can communicate or not for the mentioned WiFi network. If it just let you in, then it was a problem in one of the processes on the phone. If you can't connect to that network, there are other ways we can try.

Forget WiFi network

One factor to consider when connectivity issues affect one WiFi network or if it is happening with others. Since we can't connect to any network, it's clear that something is happening on the phone. If it is only possible with a particular network, there may be a failure or the network or phone is blocking that access. If it happens only to you over the network, don't forget this network

1. Enter settings.
2. Turn on Network and WiFi class.
3. Install WiFi.
4. Search the network for listings.
5. Click on it.
6. Tap Forget or Delete network.

After that we will also add that network manually, for the phone to connect. This usually works well so we can connect to the network again in question and without any problems.

Selecting 2.4 GHz network

This is something many users already know, but that can cause a connection problem. Generally, 5 GHz WiFi networks limited to scales, compared to 2.4 GHz. That is why it is recommended to regularly use, at least where possible, the 2.4 GHz networks.

It could be that network trying to connect to 5 GHz. The best thing we can do to test it is to come out of doubt about the size of this network. If you really have a 5 GHz network, it is better to jump to the 2.4 GHz network. This will usually eliminate problems.

Use the default IP address

Providing a fixed IP on the phone, in addition to repairing its DNS can be another solution that eliminates this problem and will thus be able to connect to the specified WiFi network. This is something we can do manually in the phone settings itself. The steps to follow are the following:

1. Open settings.
2. Enter Networks and Connections.
3. Enter the WiFi category.
4. Click on the network.
5. Install Change network.
6. Enter an IP address.
7. Enter DNS to configure it, as we've shown you.

It is important that no other devices use this default IP, in the case of multiple connections to a specified network, in the context of the network at work, for example.

Reset network settings

If there are no solutions, we can turn to resetting network settings, an option we've already talked about in the past. It is a mechanism that allows all network-related network settings, which, in turn, affect the connection to the WiFi network, to be restored. They will return to the original state, allowing multiple times to eliminate this type of problem. Steps to follow are:

1. Open settings.
2. Install System.
3. Go to the Reset section.
4. Tap Reset network settings.
5. Tap the network reset button.
6. Enter the PIN to unlock the phone.
7. Agree
