When an Android phone won’t connect to Wi-Fi, it usually means a network or system setting is preventing a stable connection. This guide shows safe, practical fixes you can try in a few minutes.
What this issue means
Your phone detects the Wi-Fi network, but fails to connect or keeps disconnecting shortly after connecting.
Common causes
- Incorrect network settings
- Temporary router issues
- Outdated system software
- Corrupted network cache
Quick checks (do these first)
- Restart your Android phone

- Turn Airplane mode ON for 10 seconds, then OFF
- Make sure Wi-Fi is enabled and not restricted

1) Forget and reconnect to the network
Go to Settings → Wi-Fi → Tap your network → Forget. Restart your phone and reconnect.
2) Reset network settings
Open Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth. This will not delete personal files.
3) Check for system updates
