Let’s say your Android keeps dropping its Wi-Fi connection if your Android device is experiencing this problem. It’s likely because it cannot establish a secure connection to your home network using Wi-Fi or a modem.
The wireless drivers on your device are likely at fault. However, this is not always the case. Connecting a newer Android tablet or smartphone to your hotspot will prompt an Internet speed test. It may falsely report an issue with your internet connection even if everything is OK.
1. Remove Android’s Adaptive Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi+
Wi-Fi Enhanced or Adaptive All modern Android phones are equipped with Wi-Fi as standard. They allow you to seamlessly transition between using the mobile phone network and Wi-Fi based on the quality of the available signals.
While it has certain advantages, it can lead to random disconnections and drops in the network connection, which can be a problem for an Android phone.
If you’d want to turn off this function, please do so by following these steps:
- To make a connection, access the Settings menu.
- Choose Wi-Fi, then tap the three dots in the upper right corner.
- Make sure you select the Advanced tab. To disable ‘Switch to mobile data,’ disable Intelligent Wi-Fi.
- If your phone supports Wi-Fi+, you may disable it by going to the Wi-Fi menu. And selecting Settings > Wi-Fi > Turn off Wi-Fi +.
2. Investigate Any Incompatible Programs:
VPNs, antivirus software, Wi-Fi and mobile phone signal boosters, and the like may all cause problems with your phone’s ability to function normally. And your connection to the outside world, either because they lack the necessary permissions. Or because they interfere with one another.
You might attempt to turn off these applications and test your connection temporarily. Alternatively, you may try disabling any suspicious network permissions one by one.
3. Start the Device in Safe Mode
It’s also possible that an unidentified third-party program is to blame for your Wi-Fi problems. When you put your Android device into “Safe Mode.” Restart your device when your phone keeps losing data connection to enhance the stability of your Internet. All non-system apps are disabled, and only the stock operating system programs can load. As a bonus, this will help establish whether one of these external programs is the root cause of the problem.
The following steps are:
- Turn on your phone by pressing and holding the Power button.
- You may access the Power option by clicking the corresponding button on the pop-up menu.
- To enter Safe Mode, hold the Power button until the menu appears.
- Just hit the “OK” button.
4. Put in a new phone update.
It’s also possible that the software on your phone is malfunctioning due to flaws, causing you network troubles. Keep your Android smartphone running the most recent version of Android software.
The following steps are:
- In the menu that appears, select Software update.
- Access the download and installation button found in Software Update.
- A notification window will indicate an update has been released to your program. To begin the installation, select Install now.
5. Activate/Deactivate the Airplane Mode
Another option is to try turning on and off airplane mode simultaneously. In airplane mode, your mobile device cannot contact any network, including wireless hotspots, Bluetooth, and cellular data networks. Resetting your network settings is like starting your device from scratch.
6. Adjust the Wireless Range of Your Router
Suppose you’re having trouble keeping your Android device connected to Wi-Fi. You want to try changing your router’s AP (Access Point) frequency.
This may be done by accessing the router’s setup page.
Although the 5GHz Band offers faster network speeds, the 2.4GHz Band has a broader coverage area.
Therefore, I recommend maintaining your network at 2.4GHz.
The following steps are:
- Go to Connections in the Settings menu.
- Select Mobile Hotspot & Tethering from the Connections menu.
- Mobile hotspots should be selected.
- When you get to the Hotspot section, select Configure. Select Band, and then pick 2.4 GHz from the selection list.
7. Reset Your Phone to Factory Settings
If you’ve tried everything above, your Android’s Wi-Fi drops and reconnects. It may be an OS problem, and a factory reset is your only choice. You should save all your work before attempting a factory reset.
The following steps are:
- Select “About Phone” from the Settings menu.
- The Reset button may be found at the very end of the page while viewing Phone information.
- Select Factory data reset from the Reset menu.
