My phone won't stay on Wi‑Fi. What should I try first?
Steps to check
Forget the network and reconnect
Settings → Network & internet → Internet (or Connections → Wi‑Fi). Forget the network, then join again and enter the password carefully.
Samsung Settings → Connections → Wi‑Fi → gear icon → ForgetPixel Settings → Network & internet → Internet → network → ForgetReboot the router and the phone
Unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug it back in, wait until lights settle, then restart the phone.
Test without VPN or battery savers
Temporarily turn off VPN apps and aggressive Wi‑Fi battery optimizations that can drop the radio.
Try another network or guest Wi‑Fi
If another network works fine, the issue is likely the original router band or password, not a broken phone.
Common questions
Should I reset network settings?
Yes as a later step if forget-and-rejoin fails. It clears saved Wi‑Fi passwords, so have them ready. (Detailed reset guide coming in a later week.)
