Also, make sure your phone’s software is up to date. Sometimes connectivity issues are fixed in system updates.

Feeling your pain! My Wi-Fi cuts out during movies. Resetting helped me too, but it’s frustrating. I hope you find a long-term fix!

I am right there with you! It’s so annoying when it interrupts my gaming sessions.

Just to add, sometimes it’s a simple matter of toggling Airplane Mode on and off. It worked for me when my connection got weird!

That’s interesting! I’ve never tried that. I’ll definitely give it a go if issues persist.

Sometimes, I think Wi-Fi networks just have a mind of their own! :joy: You might also want to check for any nearby interference from appliances.

Lol! Right? It’s crazy how often that happens! I hope we all get our connections stable soon.

I feel your pain! My Galaxy S10 used to disconnect all the time. I finally solved it by resetting my network settings. Made a huge difference!

My Pixel 4a was constantly dropping WiFi too! I changed the WiFi frequency settings from automatic to 2.4 GHz, and it worked like a charm.

32

I’ve had similar issues with my OnePlus 8. Updating to the latest Android version completely fixed my connectivity problems.

33

Good tip! After a software update, my LG V30 stopped disconnecting as well. Sometimes those updates really help!

I’ve noticed that my WiFi drops when I’m too far from the router. Have you checked your signal strength? Maybe just need a range extender.

35

That happened to me too! I couldn’t believe it was just my distance. A WiFi repeater solved that quickly.

36

Sometimes the issue might be your router itself. My ISP sent me a new one, and I haven’t had problems since! Anyone else tried this?

37

That’s a solid point! I bought a mesh system, and it was the fix I didn’t know I needed. Consider upgrading if possible!

I once uninstalled an app that I suspected was causing connectivity issues, and voila, no more disconnections! Have you tried that?

Interesting! I have so many random apps. Maybe I should start uninstalling some too. Couldn’t hurt, right?

Anyone else get drops during specific times? Like evenings? Makes me think it’s a congestion issue.
