Before you start
Know the Wi‑Fi password before forgetting a network. Ask the network owner before restarting shared equipment.
Try these steps in order
Test after each step. If the problem is resolved, you can stop.
Compare devices
When the drop happens, check another device on the same network. Record whether both lose access together.
Test nearer the router
Use the affected device in the same room. A more stable connection there points toward a coverage problem.
Reconnect the affected device
Switch its Wi‑Fi off and on. If needed, restart the device after saving work.
Rejoin a saved network
On Android, open Network & internet → Internet, select the saved network, and choose Forget. Rejoin with the password. Other devices use different labels.
Use the router’s restart instructions
If all devices are affected, follow the router or provider’s power-restart procedure. Warn others first because connected calls will stop.
What your result may mean
- Only one device drops
- Ask that device’s support team about its software and Wi‑Fi adapter.
- Only distant rooms drop
- Investigate coverage before changing your internet plan.
- All devices drop together
- Check with the internet provider or network owner.
Still not working?
Keep a short record of the times, affected devices, and router indicators. Share it with the provider if the fault returns.
