There could be several reasons your phone isn't connecting to Wi-Fi. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot:
1. Check Basic Settings:
Wi-Fi Enabled: Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on in your phone's settings.
Airplane Mode: Confirm that Airplane Mode is off.
2. Restart Devices:
Restart your phone.
Restart your router or modem by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in.
3. Verify the Wi-Fi Network:
Make sure you're selecting the correct Wi-Fi network and entering the correct password.
If it’s a public network, check for any sign-in requirements via a browser.
4. Forget and Reconnect:
Go to your phone's Wi-Fi settings, tap the network name, and select Forget Network. Then reconnect by entering the password again.
5. Check for Interference:
Ensure you’re within range of the router.
Reduce physical obstructions or interference from other electronic devices.
6. Test Another Device:
Check if other devices can connect to the Wi-Fi. If not, the issue may be with the router or ISP.
7. Reset Network Settings:
On your phone, navigate to Settings > System > Reset Options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile, and Bluetooth. This will reset all network settings (you’ll need to reconnect to Wi-Fi afterward).
8. Software Updates:
Check if your phone has pending software updates that may resolve connectivity issues.
9. Router Configuration:
Access the router settings (typically via its IP address in a browser) and ensure it’s not blocking your device. Check for any MAC filtering or parental controls.
10. Contact Support:
If none of the above works:
Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to check for outages or router issues.
Contact your phone manufacturer or carrier for further support.
