Internet access is extremely important, no one disagrees with that, right? Have you ever thought about doing something important and seeing your cell phone disconnecting from Wi-Fi all the time, right when you need it?
If you are going through this, or want to take precautions so you never have to go through this in the future, come and understand it with us!
In order to find a solution, we first need to understand the problem! The difficulty is that there are so many factors that influence a device's ability to access the Internet!
While it's possible that there's just a configuration error, it could also be something more serious. Either way, don't take any drastic measures without trying the simpler ones first, okay?
There are several things that can cause connection drops, including:
- Network error;
- Compatibility issues;
- Operating system settings;
- Wi-Fi network configuration;
- Outdated operating system;
- Hardware problems.
Let's see what the possible problems are and learn step by step how to solve them! Check out our article!
Cell phone disconnecting from Wi-Fi all the time: could it be the modem and connection?
First of all, if you have a cell phone that keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi, you should consider the possibility that the device itself is not responsible. So, first of all, try checking the connection:
- Make sure you are connected to the right network;
- Turn off the router, and turn it on again in 30 seconds;
- Put your phone in airplane/offline mode for a few seconds, or turn it on and off;
- Have you changed your password recently? Use the “Forget Network” feature and then connect again using the correct password;
- Are there other users on the same network? Check if they are fluctuating as well, as it may be overloaded.
Even if other devices are not experiencing this issue, there may be some incompatibility between the devices. Also, check whether your connection drops in other locations, and also what frequency the router is using.
For example, if the signal transmitted by this router is in the 5 GHz range, it will not be compatible with an older cell phone model. Therefore, you will have to adjust the frequency manually.
If you suspect that the problem is with the router, but you don't know how to solve it, contact your internet provider. Follow their instructions in this case, okay?
However, if you see that there is no problem with the connection, then it really must be something with your cell phone.
So, what should you do when your phone has this problem? Well, it could be a defect, and we’ll talk about that later. However, it could also be a simple misconfiguration.
Configure the mobile
Let's learn now, step by step, the right way to configure when your cell phone is disconnecting from Wi-Fi all the time. Check out the step by step now:
- In your cell phone menu, access “Settings”;
- Then go to “Wireless networks”;
- Next, in the Wi-Fi settings choose “Advanced Wi-Fi”;
- Set “Wi-Fi Inactivity” to “Never”;
- If your device says “Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep”, select “Yes”.
In this sense, also change the battery settings, as this can also interfere. Access the “Battery Manager” item and then “Battery Profile”. Finally, select: “Performance Mode”.
However, if you still don't have a stable connection even with the correct settings, you can try resetting the network:
- Again, go to “Settings”;
- Click on the “Backup and reset” option;
- Then select “Reset network settings”;
- Finally, confirm by pressing “Reset settings”.
Check if doing all of this has resolved the problem. There is still a more drastic solution which would be to update your operating system and reset everything. Do this only if necessary, okay?
In order to do this procedure, first, in “Settings” select “About Phone”, and go to the “Update Center” option.
Next, check to see if there is an updated version of your operating system available. If there is and you decide to take this step, remember: back up your files before you start! Then, just update!
However, if despite updating the system, you still notice your phone disconnecting from Wi-Fi all the time, then there really is a problem with the device itself!
It could be internal problems
Since the problem is with the device itself, you will need to seek technical assistance. There is no need to worry too much, it is very likely just an internal fault with the Wi-Fi card.
But even if it is something more serious, such as a damaged component, it is not the end of the world! Remember to be very careful with your device in the future.
Whatever it is, talk to a technician, explaining everything you did and how nothing worked. Tell him everything in detail and clearly so that he can understand and solve the problem, okay?
In conclusion, today we learned about the many possible problems that can lead to your phone disconnecting from Wi-Fi all the time. Leave any questions or suggestions in the comments!
