Try Switching on and off your Wi-Fi

After an interval of 30 seconds or 1 minute enable the Wi-Fi. The problem might get resolved. This is one of the tried and tested methods and there are high chances of your problem being resolved.

Try to cut short the distance between your device and router

Sometimes you might be outside of the range of the router’s connection range and face a drop in network. Try of move into the range of the W-Fi router. There are chances that the network signal will get boosted. You can check the status lights on the router. In case if any cable is detached, you can fix it in its place. A Wi-Fi extender or Wi-Fi repeater can be used to boost the visibility and strength of the network.

Confirm the Network Login Credentials

Whenever you are logging into a network, kindly make sure that the Login credentials are exact. If the credentials are incorrect, you can contact the admin panel and request for correct/ updated password.

Mac Address Restrictions

In a Wi-Fi network, network administrators use MAC address filtering to block unnecessary devices. If your device is not connecting to the network, check the network’s admin panel and remove any restrictions that are associated with your device’s MAC address.

You can remove some devices from the list to enable your phone to connect it.

Switching on and off the airplane mode

The Airplane mode on your Android smartphone can help you in sorting out any Wi-Fi issues. The Airplane mode refreshes many network functions like cellular data, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS. Turn on the Airplane mode for around 15-30 seconds. After the particular time frame, switch off the Airplane mode.

Use the following settings to enable the Airplane mode Settings> Network and Internet> Advanced> Aeroplane mode/ Flight mode.

Forget the Saved Network

Restarting the router

There are times when your Wi-Fi router heats up due to long running period or closed ventilation.
