Why my phone is unable to connect to an available wifi?
We tried to cover almost all of the wifi problems that an Android user could face in this extract and here are the details of ‘em all. Firstly, there can be intermittent issues with the wifi service provider which is the reason why you cannot access internet even after the wifi is connected. Other reasons could be due to inappropriate usage of IP address and DHCP/Static IP, etc. Furthermore, if you aren’t able to connect with a wifi network, it can be due to a minor software issue or due to firmware glitch or incorrect passwords, etc. These are few issues that we have covered in this extract but note that if you are having any other wifi problems, do check out this blog as these methods are truly multitudinous.

I am unable to connect to the wifi?
In this scenario, you tried to connect to the wifi but due to some unexplained reason, your phone wasn’t able to turn on the wifi. This is a common problem with Android smartphones and doesn’t require a rocket scientist to fix it. You can simply toggle off the wifi switch and wait for few seconds. Now, tap on the wifi again to turn it on, this will push the system to actually start the wifi and then, it will connect to the available network automatically.

Another problem related to wifi is that when you turn on the wifi, it connects to an available network but the internet doesn’t work. Here, you can either toggle the airplane mode or flight mode and check if the internet is working or not. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, check if there is an intermittent issue with the service provider which is often a common reason. If everything is fine, you can just turn off the router and wait for at least 10 minutes before turning it on. This will fix some of the wifi related issues.

Obtaining IP Address, Authentication Problem, etc.
When you connect to a particular wifi network, a lot happens under the hood such as the phone will send an association request to the router. Then, the router will verify SSID and password and other details and then, obtain IP address finally allowing the phone to use the wifi. But in case if the phone is showing obtaining IP address for too long, the process has definitely hit a roadblock which could be anything from a hardware to a software issue. Now, take the phone near the router so that the signal is strong and that must allow the phone to connect with the wifi.

Another error is of authentication process which is quite self-explanatory. In case if you have entered a wrong password or SSID in case the network is hidden, the phone will show the error ‘Authentication Problem’. So, simply press on forget network and then, enter the credentials again to connect without any issues. Note that if you have paired your phone with too many wifi networks, it can lead to these types of problems. You can delete few of the entries in order to provide space for the new connection.
