Method #5: Forget and reconnect
When you turn on wifi on your phone, it connects with the modem or wifi network which is available. The priority is given to that network which has a password saved if there is no password protected wifi network is available. When you try to connect to either of the wifi networks, it undergoes a number of methods such as first the phone and the modem will verify the password and then, obtain IP address and then only, the phone is connected to a router or modem. But if there’s any problem in-between, wifi won’t work on your phone.
If this is the situation, try to forget either the one wifi network that you want to connect or forget the passwords for all available networks. Next is to wait for few minutes and then, turn on the wifi and tap on the network you want to connect. Now, the system will prompt you to enter the password or allow the user to register if the network is unprotected. Keep the wifi settings screen active on your phone to ensure that the phone properly connects to the intended network. Also, note that if there are too many networks saved on your phone, it may cause wifi problems such as error while connecting to a new network and so on. Thus, ensure that you delete those networks that aren’t required.
Method #6: Reboot it
If tweaking the wifi networks didn’t help, simply reboot the phone. This will force shut all the processes on your phone and also, fix the temporary glitch that might be causing the wifi problems which is a common sight in Android smartphones.
Method #7: Restart the modem
This is the same method as ‘Method 6’ but on the other end i.e. modem or router. There is a small button located right behind the router that restarts it. On the contrary, you can switch off the router for few minutes and then, restart it for best results.
Method #8: Update the apps and Android firmware
Keeping the phone updated gives you an edge over those who don’t update their phone which is a perfect breeding ground for bugs and errors that can escape and cause various issues. When you update all the apps as well as the firmware, your phone achieves the maximum health it requires to tackle and handle all the processes that take place in your phone day-in and day-out. Further, keeping the phone updated brings add-on features and benefits and eliminate any bugs or errors that might escape in the system and cause any type of issue.
To check for updates available for the apps installed, go to the ‘Google Play Store >> My apps and games >> Updates’. Similarly, you can check if there are any updates available for firmware by following this procedure: ‘Settings >> About Phone >> Software Updates >> Check for updates’.
Method #9: Modem firmware update
Now that you know it’s important to update the apps installed as well as the firmware being used, it is also important to ensure that the firmware being used by the modem is updated or not. You can check out if there are any updates available by going to the Modem configurations that requires a dedicated IP address that will guide you towards the control panel for the modem/router.
Method #10: Clear cache
It is important to clear cache saved on your phone as it slows down the device as well as introduce a host of different issues. You can check out app cache by going to Settings >> Apps where you need to tap on each individual app to clear it. Further, clear the storage cache saved on your phone. You will find the option to delete it by going to Settings >> Storage >> Cache Memory where you can tap on it to delete it.
Last but not the least is to wipe cache partition. To perform this, you’ll have to boot into the recovery mode for which, the procedure is clearly explained in ‘Method 10’. Once you have logged into the recovery mode, choose the option ‘wipe cache partition’ from the menu and confirm the actions by selecting the option ‘Yes’.
Method #10: Reset the smartphone

- Firstly, you’ll need to boot into the recovery mode for which, turn off the phone.
