The smartphone loses Wi-Fi. Solution to the problem: Android loses Wi-Fi network

Owners of mobile phones and tablets may encounter a situation where wireless Internet access is activated without any action on their part. If Wi-Fi on Android is turned on by itself, this can lead to rapid discharge of the phone. However, many users do not want to constantly see a notification that no Wi-Fi networks were found. To solve such a problem, its causes must be identified. We recommend that you configure Wi-Fi settings on Android so that it is active only when the mobile device user needs it. For example, you can set the settings to search for access points automatically at a set time. It is worth noting that there may be several reasons for spontaneous activation - from gadget settings to Android malfunctions. In some cases, the error may occur in certain phone models. In any case, it requires elimination, only then will the operation of the mobile device be stable and smooth.

If the wireless network on the device activates on its own, then you need to look for the reasons for these actions

Solutions to the problem

If Wi-Fi turns on automatically, you can check the status of the power saving mode. If it is active, then the wireless connection on Android can be turned on and off without owner intervention, so try deactivating the mode and observe how the smartphone or tablet “behaves”. If this does not help and Wi-Fi continues to turn on by itself, then try turning your mobile device off and on again. Sometimes this helps solve the problem.

You need to understand that the wireless Internet connection module is activated by commands from certain programs, that is, the applications themselves can activate it. It is necessary to analyze at what point a similar problem began to arise on your Android gadget. You may have installed an application that automatically launches the wireless module. In this case, we recommend uninstalling it. Unfortunately, not all programs found in the Google Play store are safe for smartphones and tablets.

You can install a high-quality and effective antivirus and scan the operating system. If this also does not help, then you should do a hard reboot, that is, restore the phone or tablet to factory settings. There are several ways to perform a Hard Reset - through Recovery mode, Android settings, or using operating system service codes. Before doing this, we recommend saving only contacts and media files. The remaining information may contain software code that causes the wireless access to be permanently activated.

If the described methods did not help and Wi-Fi constantly turns on by itself, then it is better to contact a service center, where qualified specialists will determine the exact cause of this error. It is advisable to find a certified service that repairs phones and tablets of your brand.

Wi-Fi management app

You can find and install the Smart WiFi Toggler app for free in the Google Play store. It will allow you to set up wireless Internet access. The bottom line is that the program remembers access points and automatically activates them at a convenient time. When the user leaves the access point, the mobile Internet is turned on, provided that the user has set such parameters. You can set up home and

Help! The phone, out of the blue, began to connect on its own to the last Internet I used. That is, if I last used MTS Internet, it will connect to it. If there is Wi-Fi, then go to it. I exit the Internet, and within 5 minutes the phone goes there again. It doesn’t download anything, but spends a few MB on the connection and sits there. I haven't installed any programs recently, the problem arose suddenly. My husband checked - there are no auto-connection settings on the phone, no programs are active at this moment. It is noteworthy that the phone accesses the Internet only if there is a SIM card. When I pulled out the SIM and used Wi-Fi from it in offline mode, after that it didn’t go into Wi-Fi itself. Help me please! I don’t know what to do anymore. We checked for viruses with Kaspersky, there are none.

In the "connection" section there is no "offline" button. We have already reviewed the entire phone, there is no auto-connection anywhere. As an access point, he himself chooses the one that I last used. The Internet here is free, but in Finland and other roaming fees are so expensive that I won’t be able to pay later..

This is the user manual for the specified phone model from the Nokia website

How can they write about a menu item that doesn't exist?

16.03.2011, 01:50

Thank you! I read the manual, but I couldn’t change the situation.

16.03.2011, 20:39

17.03.2011, 15:46

There are Ovi maps, for example.

I would visit a Nokia showroom, or call tech. support from your operator.
If the first thing doesn’t help, you can turn off your operator’s data services - this is radical, but you definitely won’t have to pay.

There are all sorts of programs, including ICQ. But these programs have been in place for a long time, and the problem began recently. At the moment when the phone goes online and sits on it, no programs are active (my husband checked). The phone just connects, spends a few MB on the connection and surfs the Internet.
I have MTS, I asked a friend for a Megafon SIM card, inserted it - the problem persisted with the Megafon SIM card!! So it's the phone itself... I don't know what to do anymore! I can’t turn off the Internet because I need it every day..

Disable data services from your operator.

WiFi Internet will remain.

The rest - you need to hold the phone in your hands and try this and that -
This is probably not possible remotely.

There are about 10 “checkboxes” that need to be ticked, I believe, no less.

20.03.2011, 17:38

So, mobile Internet is needed every day..

20.03.2011, 18:00

The best thing to do is to back up everything you need and return the phone to factory settings. Or better yet, flash the latest firmware.

21.03.2011, 00:22

21.03.2011, 00:28

I read that operators have such a service - access to the Internet when the user does not configure an access point on the phone.

21.03.2011, 02:01

We returned it to the factory settings - no problem.

21.03.2011, 03:30

Have you installed any programs that can use the Internet?
Or did you not enable time synchronization via the internet?

Something similar started happening to me after I received an SMS. If you don’t delete it quickly, it starts downloading something from the Internet, like a postcard. It all started on February 14th. I blacklisted that number and everything stopped. I don't remember exactly now. Type 4455.

23.03.2011, 18:29

Dance *#7370# on your keyboard followed by the verification code 12345 and you will be happy.

If happiness suddenly isn’t complete, perform a reset that trains finger motor skills: with the phone turned off, press and hold the star, three and green handset, and turn on the device.

The malicious program that you installed and/or clumsily configured will be destroyed.
What does all this mean? What happens when you press these numbers?

That's right, flashing the firmware removed the incorrect settings. It was written above that the problem is either due to programs or due to settings. It was possible to get rid of this using the above key combination - the phone's memory would be formatted with a total return to the original firmware state.
You followed the same path, but through the chimney.

Today, a smartphone running the Android, iOS or Windows Phone operating system is no longer just a device for making calls and sending SMS. Modern mobile devices allow you to:

watch videos, listen to music;
play games;
navigate an unfamiliar city and receive up-to-date information about any events in the world.

And by installing one of the universal programs for Android, you can turn your smartphone into a TV remote control that is quite simple and easy to operate.

You can track the trend that each new version of any operating system is increasingly tied to online services. Without access to the Internet, a smartphone loses the lion's share of its functionality. And what a shame if you bought a device at a considerable price, and it suddenly began to freeze or even turn off when you tried to log on to the Internet!

In this article, we will list the most common reasons why the phone turns off when accessing the Internet, and also provide tips on how to solve this or that problem.

So, let's start listing possible malfunctions, gradually moving from simple to more complex. They are universal for all Fly smartphone models.

Other Fly smartphones
On our website you can find a catalog with other Fly smartphones on Android.

Why does my phone turn off when I go online?

Lack of nutrition

This is the most popular reason for such problems. The fact is that the Wi-Fi module is initially one of the most “gluttonous” elements of the system, along with the screen. You can verify this by looking at the battery consumption table in the smartphone menu.

Moreover, the moment the module is turned on, it immediately requires increased power to search for networks, and if it is not enough, it “freezes,” causing the device to automatically turn off.

Smartphone batteries physically wear out after a year or two and do not produce the required “peak” voltage. As a result, the smartphone may suddenly show 0% battery charge after turning on the Internet, and after a reboot, again 80% or more. This is a clear sign that the problem is in the diet.

You can finally verify this by connecting the device to a charger. If the shutdowns stop, it’s time to change the battery. If not, we move on to the next stage of diagnostics.

Software error

Think about whether you recently installed a new application. Some programs can cause conflicts that manifest themselves in this way. In particular, the popular “DU Battery Saver” charge indicator, due to incompatibility with some smartphones, often provoked reboots when connected to the Internet. Try uninstalling a recently installed Android application and checking your device again.

If the specific culprit program is not found, it may be the operating system itself. Over time, it becomes clogged and begins to fail. Fortunately, it can be “reset” to its original state. In Android, this can be done through the “system recovery” menu:

To access it, hold down the “Power” and “Down” buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds.
In the menu, select the item “wipe data/factory reset” and confirm.
Then we reboot and evaluate the result.

Hardware problems

We left the most difficult and unpleasant question for last. What to do if none of the above helped? Most likely, the problem is in the hardware, and probably with the Wi-Fi module. For example, a cable could come away from it, or it could have a short circuit (then the case in this place will constantly overheat). In a word, you can’t do without disassembly.

If you trust your hands and decide to understand what is happening, then find a video on the Internet where your smartphone model is disassembled and reproduce all the actions. Then visually check the connections. You can even replace the Wi-Fi module, but remember that any independent operations with the device will automatically void the warranty. In order not to make a mistake for which you will have to pay a fairly high price, it is better to contact the nearest service center, in Moscow or any other city in Russia. This way you will prevent the problem from getting worse and will be able to get professional help in troubleshooting.

If you are interested, you can read the article where we reviewed the main

Subscribers who exchange a regular push-button telephone for a smartphone often encounter a situation: it is difficult to understand what services the money from their personal account is spent on. To help newbie subscribers understand, here are a few typical examples.

But first let's find out: What is the difference between a smartphone and a telephone? The term “smartphone” - translated from English (smartphone) literally means “smart phone”. The smartphone owes its name to the presence of an operating system that gives it the functionality of a mobile computer. .

To better understand the differences, let us recall the main features of a simple “push-button” telephone:

make telephone calls to other subscribers on mobile and landline numbers, both within the country and abroad.
send SMS – short text messages to mobile numbers of Belarusian and foreign subscribers
send USSD commands to the operator to manage your account and services
receive, at the subscriber's request, reference and entertainment information from MTS partners for funds in the client's personal account

What main problems can be solved using smartphone?

Of course, everything is the same as with a regular phone. However, the presence of an operating system allows you to install additional programs, which significantly expands its capabilities. For this purpose, application stores have been implemented, greatly simplifying the search and installation of a wide variety of applications. So, a smartphone user can:

Among the required minimum there is also usually a file manager (works as an “explorer” on the computer), a program for reading books, a dictionary, an online product catalog and much, much more.

Is it true that using a smartphone is expensive?

In addition to calls and SMS, smartphone users also need access to the Internet (for example, mobile Internet) for the device to work at full capacity. On almost all tariff plans, the cost of a package of a certain volume is included in the fixed-price tariff plan. So, in 2013, following global trends in data transformation, the operator added a 50 MB Internet package to many tariff plans. If a subscriber needs more traffic, he can add one of the Internet services. Moreover, the cost of such a service can be 2,100 rubles per day - the “MiniBIT” service.

In the future, in order to control monthly expenses, it is enough to figure out what services the subscriber has connected to.

Is it true that mobile Internet increases your monthly bill several times?

Tariff plans designed for active Internet users are designed in such a way that the subscriber's expenses from month to month remain acceptable for the largest possible category of such users. The cost is formed in conditions of high competition, which helps the subscriber receive the necessary services at a fairly reasonable price. An increase in the fee for mobile Internet is possible only if the subscriber uses more Internet traffic than is provided for in the Internet package as part of the service. We recommend that such users pay attention to services from the unlimited line: “ ”, “ ”, “ ” and “ “.

Is it true that the operator includes additional services in the tariff plan of the smartphone user without the knowledge of the customers?

The exact wording of what a tariff plan is will help dispel this myth: “... this is a set of tariffs and other conditions under which the telecommunication operator offers the user of telecommunication services one or more telecommunication services.”

By signing the contract, the subscriber agrees to the terms of service and tariffs of the mobile operator for the selected tariff plan. Calls, SMS, mobile Internet - this is not a complete list of services that a subscriber can use after connecting. For example, if, according to the terms of the tariff plan, the subscriber immediately gains access to calls abroad, and he does not make international calls, then no money is debited from the account. But only until he calls a foreign number.

One of the conditions of service is the subscriber’s ability to independently connect and disconnect services at the moment when it is necessary. Therefore, the subscriber should consciously approach the choice of services and become familiar with the tariffs for their use before connecting. If the subscriber is not sure how much a service actually costs, you need to find the cost on the website or consult an MTS specialist in person during a visit to the salon or by calling the contact center 0890.

After adding a service and confirming your subscription to the service, which, for example, can be received via SMS, you need to be prepared for the use fee to be debited from your personal account. It is necessary to understand that if a service is provided on an ongoing basis, then the fee may be charged throughout the entire period of use.

To avoid unplanned expenses, you need to check what services are connected. To do this, you need to contact MTS specialists by calling 0890 from your mobile phone or in person at one of the salons. In addition, you can use self-service services - USSD assistant (*111#), and also check using your phone which services are activated in the SIM card menu.

Is it true that a smartphone itself accesses the Internet without the owner’s knowledge?

One of the important advantages of smartphones is that, unlike regular phones, they allow you to perform several tasks in parallel. For example, you can count something on a calculator and at the same time write a response to a message. With a regular phone, you'd have to turn off the calculator, losing all your results: you'd have to close one app to move on to another.

This same key feature creates such a myth - the subscriber cannot always keep track of all the processes occurring in the smartphone. Including, control which application and how much Internet traffic is currently consuming.

MTS recommends carefully checking before installing each application which phone functions it will have access to. If the Flashlight application requests access to send SMS and requires mobile Internet, you should consider whether to install it.

Many modern smartphones have a built-in Internet access manager, which can restrict applications from accessing the network independently. You can correctly set up your smartphone and understand the connected services yourself using self-service services - Internet assistant, USSD assistant, or by contacting an MTS operator specialist in one of its own showrooms.

Instructions

Every modern model of mobile phone one way or another has the ability to access Internet. Some devices support only the simplest online communication managers, while smartphones provide an almost perfect connection to the network and the operation of many applications. For these reasons, the default settings of most smartphones allow the device to have open Internet access to download the necessary updates. Be careful about your phone's behavior if you have limited or expensive Internet traffic or low battery power, as resources may run out without your knowledge.

Smartphones equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi connection receiver allow you to access the Internet via Wi-Fi if there is an activated device within reach. First of all, set up Wi-Fi priority if you do not want to use mobile traffic when connecting to the Internet. You can enable this function in the sections “Wireless connection settings”, “Selecting an access point”, etc. depending on the brand of phone. In the Wi-Fi settings section, enable notifications about available wireless networks if you need it. To save battery power, turn off Wi-Fi reception when not in use.

The section “Setting up wireless networks”, “Mobile networks" or "Mobile Internet" will allow you to configure access to the network via GPRS. Uncheck the "Enable Packet Data" option to disable the Internet. When you exit the network, the checkbox will become inactive, and the icon indicating that the Internet is turned on will disappear on the phone screen.

Enter application settings. In the “Update Notifications” section, configure options for downloading updates from the Internet: enable/disable (applications will update independently), Wi-Fi only, packet data. When updates are detected, the system will ask for your permission to surf the Internet. Allow updates only when connected to Wi-Fi and with sufficient battery power.

Many modern mobile phones support Internet access. There are several methods to disable this option. The choice of the appropriate method, as a rule, depends on the purpose of disabling the service.

Instructions

First, try setting the Internet connection parameters incorrectly. The ability to manually configure the connection is available on almost all models of mobile phones and smartphones. Turn on the device and go to the “Settings” menu.

Select the “Internet” or “Connection Settings” submenu. Select the active Internet connection profile and click “Edit”. Enter a different access point value. Enter a username and password, the values of which will not meet the requirements of the cellular operator.

Save the settings and restart your mobile phone. When working with smartphones, it is important to disable additional communication channels. Open the settings menu and go to the Wi-Fi category. Disable the wireless network adapter. This step will save battery power consumption.

Let's consider today the problem when the Wi-Fi network is unstable, and when the connection to the Wi-Fi network is periodically interrupted, or the Internet connection is lost. It seems to me that this is even worse than when the Internet does not work at all. Because the problem is not clear, everything seems to work, but not as it should, the signal disappears, devices turn off, and other incomprehensible moments. It’s just that when something doesn’t work, it’s at least clear where to look for a solution, but in such a situation nothing is clear at all.

What causes an unstable Wi-Fi connection:

Periodic disconnections of devices from the Wi-Fi network. Or the Internet simply breaks for a while (), and everything starts working again. A very popular problem that causes a lot of inconvenience. For example, a laptop is connected to a Wi-Fi network, and the Internet is working. But periodically a yellow exclamation mark appears next to the connection icon, and the Internet disappears. Loading files, etc. gets lost. And as a rule, after a while the connection is restored.
Devices do not connect to the Wi-Fi network the first time, or do not see the Wi-Fi network.
The Wi-Fi network completely disappears and appears.
Very low internet speed over wireless network (everything is fine via cable).
When the Wi-Fi connection only works close to the router.
The wireless network signal level is constantly changing.

This, of course, is not the entire list of problems that are associated with unstable operation of wireless networks. There may be many more. Very often, Wi-Fi works fine for a while, and then problems begin and go away again. You may also notice the appearance of problems, for example in the evenings, or at other times of the day.

If you have something similar, and you seem to have an Internet connection, but you can’t always use it ( use without any problems), then now we will try to fix everything.

Changing the wireless network channel when Wi-Fi is unstable

This is the first and most important tip that you should definitely try. We know that every Wi-Fi network operates on some channel. If there are many of these networks, then they begin to interfere with each other, and interference appears. As a result, Wi-Fi is unstable. Well, and various incomprehensible problems that I wrote about above, and which you have most likely already encountered.

You need to change the Wi-Fi network channel in the router settings. I wrote in detail about channels, about finding a free one and about changing on different models of routers in a separate instruction:

You can try setting some kind of static channel (if you have Auto), or vice versa, set Auto if a static channel was selected. In the article linked above, I wrote about finding the freest channel using the inSSIDer program. You can use it.

You just need to go to the router settings, go to the tab where you configure the wireless network, and in the Channel item change the channel. This is what it looks like on Tp-Link routers:

And on Asus routers:

After each channel change, do not forget save the settings and reboot the router. Be sure to try several options. It should help.

As for interference, household appliances can create it. Do not place the router near microwave ovens, cordless phones, etc.

The Internet is cut off via Wi-Fi: router firmware, and other tips

Almost always, such problems in the wireless network occur due to the router. Not uncommonly, this is due to the firmware. Therefore, I strongly recommend updating the firmware of your router. We have instructions on our website for all popular manufacturers. Here's an example:

It is also possible that the wireless network may be unstable due to some technical problems with the router. Something with the board itself, or the power adapter. By the way, it is power adapters that very often cause such problems. The router simply does not receive the necessary power and there are connection breaks, etc. Well, strong changes in the power supply can affect the operation of the router. If the Internet goes out after you put some kind of load on the router (online videos, games, torrents, connecting new devices, etc.), then this is usually due to an inexpensive (not powerful) router.

Need to eliminate problems on the ISP side. It may well be that the connection is broken on its end, and the router has nothing to do with it. It’s very easy to check, just connect the Internet directly to your computer and check its operation.

For many people, the connection breaks down in rooms where the Wi-Fi network signal is very poor. When, for example, only one division of the network signal remains on the device.

In such a situation, you need to increase the range of your Wi-Fi network. We have an article on this topic:. Or, install . After this, problems with Internet interruptions should disappear.

And if your devices at home find a lot of available networks that operate at a frequency of 2.4 GHz (as is most likely your network), and changing the channel, and even changing the router does not produce results, and the Wi-Fi network is very unstable, then this problem can be solved by purchasing a router that supports operation at a frequency of 5 GHz. This frequency is practically free. I just know a case where there were a lot of wireless networks in the house, and Wi-Fi was simply impossible to use until they switched to the 5 GHz frequency.

If the Internet disappears on only one laptop

And of course, it’s not uncommon for all devices to connect and work with a wireless network without any problems or disconnections, but one device keeps disconnecting, losing connection, etc. It’s not hard to guess that most often this device is called a laptop and runs on Windows.

In such cases, it is imperative to update the wireless adapter driver. I wrote how to do this. It is possible that the problem may be in the hardware. And it appears very often after disassembling the laptop (cleaning dust). Why is that? During assembly, the antenna that is built into the laptop often suffers. These are the problems with working with Wi-Fi networks. Very often, after this the Internet only works near the router itself.

Update: changing Wi-Fi network properties

Open Network and Sharing Center and click on your Wi-Fi network. In the new window, click on the “Wireless Network Properties” button and check the box next to “Connect even if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID).” Click Ok.

If it doesn’t help, and Wi-Fi continues to fail, then in the same window, on the “Security” tab, you can click on the “Advanced settings” button and check the box next to “Enable compatibility mode for this network with the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) )".

You can restart your computer. Thanks to Alexander for this advice. He suggested it in the comments to this article.

These are the tips: if you have interesting information on this topic, personal experience, then write in the comments. You can ask questions there, I will definitely answer!

Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to transmit data or connect to the Internet wirelessly. These days, the use of Wi-Fi is becoming very common and we can see this technology being used by a wide range of devices such as smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, smart TVs, etc.

However, this technology has a number of limitations. Firstly, it is not as secure as a wired connection, but this is solved by using Protected Access Encryption (WPA2), which helps prevent unauthorized access to the network. If you do not have sufficient knowledge to set up a home or office network, then it is better to entrust this matter to professionals. Simply fill out the form at http://kompom.kiev.ua/ and the setup will be done quickly and efficiently.

Another problem: Wi-Fi drops out periodically. Usually, when there is no activity, the phone or tablet loses connection with the Wi-Fi router and does not see the network until Wi-Fi on the mobile device is restarted. There may be several reasons why the Wi-Fi connection is lost; in this article we will look at several options for solving the problem when Android loses the Wi-Fi network.

If you are facing the problem of Wi-Fi turning off on your Android device, try the following settings options and you will be able to connect your device wirelessly without much hassle.

Wi-Fi network overflow

The biggest interference to the Wi-Fi signal comes from neighboring wireless networks. The problem is that most Wi-Fi devices operate in the already occupied 2.4 GHz band, and the high density of signals can interfere with each other, reducing the speed and performance of networks.

Solution: Use a dual-band router that can operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously. The 2.4 GHz frequency band will be supported by most devices, but it only has three non-overlapping channels. On the other hand, 5 GHz has 23 non-overlapping channels, increasing the likelihood of no interference in this band. If your router can operate in the 5GHz band, use it to solve your Wi-Fi network congestion problem.

Setting up a Wi-Fi channel

The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band has 11 channels and each of them is separated from each other by a 5 MHz band and has a width of 20 to 22 MHz. This means that each channel will overlap adjacent channels by 10 MHz and this is referred to as overlapping channels.

Solution: In the case of channels 1, 6 and 11, there will be no overlap causing interference, since these are not overlapping channels. To work on these channels, users will need to go into the router's settings and find a setting called "Channel" or "Wireless Channel". From the drop-down menu, you need to select the desired channel number.

Most manufacturers resort to various methods to increase battery life. Android smartphone users are forced to enable such power saving features in their devices. One such feature is turning off Wi-Fi when the phone is inactive or when the device has low battery. Such features of Wi-Fi in sleep mode create problems when connecting to the network as needed.

Solution: Simply configure your Android device's settings and make sure you always have Wi-Fi turned on, even when your device is not in use. To do this on devices running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and above, you need to do the following. Go to Settings menu - Wireless network— Wi-Fi and select Advanced — Wi-Fi in sleep mode do not select "Don't turn off".

On those devices running Android 4.0 ICS and higher, go to Settings - Wi-Fi, select Advanced and set the Wi-Fi during sleep option to "Always".

Change DNS servers

Changing DNS servers can solve the Wi-Fi problem when the Internet network on the phone disappears. Go to Settings - Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi. If it's a known network, you'll have to "forget" it and then connect again. When you see the password entry window, click on Extra options and select "Static" from the IP settings in the dropdown menu. Then scroll down and enter the IP address of the DNS server you would like to use in the DNS1 and DNS2 field. Now enter your Wi-Fi password and connect to the network.

Reset to factory settings

If none of these methods work, hard reset your Android device. If you then have problems where you lose your Wi-Fi connection, then it could be a hardware problem. You may have to take the device to a service center to have the problem fixed.

We have looked at the most common reasons for Wi-Fi disconnection that occur in Android devices. We hope this will help solve the problem and allow you to set up a stable Wi-Fi connection. In addition, pay attention to specialized applications, since there are many applications in the Google Play store, the use of which will help ensure a reliable connection. Some of them are Wi-Fi Fixer, Fix My Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Analyzer and others.

What good is a smartphone if it doesn't connect to the Internet? Even the best Android smartphones sometimes have problems with the Internet. If you have problems with your Wi-Fi network, we offer several methods to solve them.

1. Airplane mode and reboot

First, you should try some simple methods to solve Wi-Fi problems. Smartphone users often look for complex and confusing ways to solve a problem, while forgetting about relatively simple options. First, try turning your Wi-Fi network off and on again. Open the Quick Settings menu and tap the Wi-Fi icon to turn off the network.

Another simple solution is to turn on Airplane mode for a few seconds, then turn it off again.

If the Wi-Fi problem is not resolved, try restarting your smartphone.

2. Wi-Fi turns off on its own

The most obvious reason for this problem is that you have not enabled the Wi-Fi sleep mode option. This option automatically disconnects your smartphone from the Wi-Fi network to save battery power.

Follow these steps:

3. How to access a peer-to-peer or hidden network

There are two networks that have limited automatic access: the network you want to connect to is a specific type, or a network that is hidden for security reasons.

Regarding the first problem, most Android smartphones are not configured to work in peer-to-peer networks. However, the good people of the XDA Developers forum have created a patch that allows you to bypass this limitation. With the wpa_supplicant file, you can connect to these types of networks.

Attention: This solution is intended for advanced users only.

If the problem is with a hidden network, you can try adding it manually. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Add network. Enter the network SSID and password.

4. Problems obtaining an IP address

If you have a problem getting an IP address, then your smartphone gets stuck in an endless network connection loop. This is why Wi-Fi doesn't work. First, reboot your home router. If the problem persists, perform a factory reset.

If you think that this is not a valid solution to the problem, then we can recommend another option. Go to Google Play Store and download WiFi Fixer.

The application restores Wi-Fi system files and some services that are necessary for the normal functioning of a Wi-Fi network. The WiFi Fixer app will ensure that your smartphone receives an IP address.

5. Wi-Fi is slow

Have you managed to connect to a Wi-Fi network, but the speed is so slow that you can't browse the web? Are you sure that your router is working well, the signal is strong enough and there are no problems at all? We recommend checking your Internet speed using the SpeedTest app. This is a reliable and accurate service that will show you the actual download speed, upload speed and ping in a few seconds.

Today it is no longer possible to imagine any apartment or office without its own Wi-Fi network. Having a router is no longer a luxury, but an ordinary thing. But every user sooner or later faces a problem when Wi-Fi turns off on their phone. Why is this happening? Is this a technical problem or just carelessness in use? The article will tell you about the main types of errors and how to eliminate them.

Problems with connection

In 99% of cases, problems with Wi-Fi connection are caused by the following reasons:

Incorrect operation of the router.
Wi-Fi settings errors.
The presence of third-party programs installed on the device.
Incorrect phone settings.

Correct diagnosis will help solve the problem. In most cases, you can do this yourself, without the help of specialists. Slow Internet performance, for example, may indicate that the network is overloaded because there are too many devices connected.

Settings errors

The first thing you should pay attention to is the settings of the Wi-Fi access point itself. You can check correct operation through the router menu, which can be accessed through a browser. To do this, you need to know the user's login and password, which are either written on the router itself, or, if they have already been changed, you need to find out yourself or reset the settings. Once access to the menu is obtained, you need to find out the wireless mode parameters, such as:

Channel width (settable from 5 to 40 MHz).
Channel selection (automatically configured, but you can select it yourself).
Baud rate (set to maximum value).
Region (may be the cause of the problem, but very rarely, so it is better not to change this item).

Everything is set correctly, but why does Wi-Fi on the phone turn off? We need to move on to the next point.

Incorrect operation of the router

If using the router settings menu it was not possible to determine why the Wi-Fi on the phone turns off, you need to check the operation of the router itself.

Indicators will tell the user whether the operation is correct. There are usually three or four of them, depending on the model, and they should all be lit or flashing:

Nutrition. Color may vary on different models (green, blue, but not red). But it should always be on and not blinking.
The system indicator must be blinking.
The WAN indicator is an indicator of the presence of an Internet network.
WLAN indicator - shows whether the wireless network is running on the router itself.
After them there are LAN ports, to which a cable for wired Internet is connected. They do not affect the operation of Wi-Fi.

The router also has a power button that can be used to restart the device. This trick helps many people.

Availability of third-party programs installed on the device

Viruses are one of the main problems of the Internet. Because of them, Wi-Fi on the phone periodically turns off. Why does this happen and how to avoid it? If there is a suspicion that the device has been subject to a virus attack, it is recommended to install one of the many anti-virus programs and run a scan. The program itself will find viruses known to it and eliminate them.

But such security programs often themselves become a problem for Internet access. Therefore, there is no need to keep the antivirus turned on all the time.

Incorrectly set phone parameters

If unlicensed or broken software is installed on the device, then you should not be surprised that Wi-Fi turns off. For some reason, this problem happens least often on Samsung phones. Perhaps because the manufacturer fully provides the devices with high-quality software. But even in this case, the user can accidentally or deliberately change the factory settings. This problem can only be solved by a full reset to the original settings. With “native” firmware, problems with Wi-Fi arise extremely rarely, since it is not subject to third-party influence. But in this case, the user will lose all his data, so important information should be saved before resetting.

Problems with Wi-Fi connections can often be resolved on your own. But physical intervention and repairs can permanently damage the device. If using available methods it is not possible to determine why the Wi-Fi on your phone turns off, you should contact technical support centers.
