My Android Won't Connect To Wi-Fi. Here's The Real Fix!

[@defjules]

Thanks for this vid, guys. I had tried almost every item on your list, except for #2: unplugging router. Didn't think this could possibly be the problem, because my laptop was connected to my wifi and that was working fine. Well, whaddaya know, it worked! I unplugged the cord from the router unit (instead of from the wall), waited about 30 seconds for dramatic effect, then re-connected. Now my phone is connecting to the wifi just fine.

[@deadlycreature3359]

Was it just your android device, but other devies still connected also? Roku and on demand for my tv service work, just not my android phone anymore. I tried unplugging the router, but still isn't working. I had a tough time connecting to a public wi fi at a business the other day, but it eventually connected. Maybe my phones wi fi is just starting to go bad? its a 91 dollar go phone lol. my iphone when it worked got the wi fi password error also, and I changed wi fi name and password. now it's happening with my android.

[@defjules]

@@deadlycreature3359 Yes, only my android phone was not connecting to my wifi. There was no problem with my laptop-wifi connection. Sorry to hear you're still having issues. I have no idea why unplugging/replugging the router worked in my case. Wish I had the answers for you. Hope you figure it out soon.

[@SleepyCat05]

Thank you so much! Have been facing the problem since 2 days. Tried turning off wifi, resetting router, unplugging the router, removing the wifi from saved networks, restarting device but nothing worked but resetting network settings worked for me!

[@brasspick]

You helped me out...I unplugged the WiFi tower, waited abt a minute, then powered it back up; now my WiFi's on again. Thanks!!!

[@voradorhylden3410]

Why did you have to do that with a service that should work because you pay for it? You should get a discount for doing their job!

[@20pixiedust08]

Thank you so much!! I watched one of your other videos but none of those things mentioned, fixed my loss of Internet. I was out and about yesterday and my phone connected to WiFi away from home. Today I watched this video, reset my router and so far it's working...5 minutes. 😊

[@ricardodecarvalho8134]

I tried all the fixes shown but cannot connect to my network. I have 8 devices on my network including 3 cell phones and they all work fine. The one I cannot connect was working fine till a couple days a go. Now I get an "authentication error occurred" when I try to connect to the network. Any other possible suggestion?

Resetting by pressing the hidden button actually fixed my issue. Thank you very much.

[@Charliezard7]

which hidden button?

[@esakamala6991]

I seem to be the only person with this issue: My wifi was working very well for a long time, sometimes when it didn't, a simple phone turn off-turn on fixed it. But a few months back it suddenly lost my wifi and I've tried everything here multiple times but it just doesn't find it anymore. My phone connects to other networks without a problem though..

[@michellecarr3776]

I can't get back into my wifi either. Did everything. Router etc

[@K_N_44]

I have the same exact problem! This happened after i bought a new mobile...My old mobile phone cannot connect to WiFi anymore but all our other mobile and computers can be connected without problems

[@godsawoman]

I was having the exact same problem. My phone connects to other networks but not my old WIFI. I watched the video and tried the RESET NETWORK settings option. After that re-entered the wifi password and it worked..try that... Thanks @Payette Forward

[@andreasmaximus6116]

For a long time, Samsung phones running Android 10 intermittently returned the error, "connected but no internet". Neither of these fixes worked. The problem went away after the device was updated to Android 11.

So can I update the on the same phone and will it change?

oml, thank you beautiful people!!!! i've been facing this problem with my phone for more than a year, and after resetting the network settings it was done. and i knew that it was a problem with my phone because when i'd go to other places the problem would still be there . now the tormenting of my nerves is finished🙏

[@ahmdmoadi]

I have a very specific issue: it occasionally won't connect to any secured WiFi network (works with open wifis) , but sometimes it fixes itself? I've tried forgetting the WiFi, reseting network settings, even went as far as resetting the entire phone to prevent that from happening and no luck 😭

[@gilboimesh3583]

Did u fix it?

[@D.Rom82]

Unfortunately, none of these fixes worked for me. The problem started when I upgraded my internet modem/router, my older android which is no longer connected with a data service shows that it is connected to my wifi but then displays a message that the android can not connect to the internet using that wifi. It connects to other wifi services and my new phone and other devices connect easily to the same wifi, except for my old laptop which doesn't even recognize the new wifi. Is this just a compatibility issue or can it be fixed somehow?

[@Antz_42]

First solution worked after days of restarting my router. Thank you.

[@ShanKhanYousafzai]

Wi-Fi was working on my and my brother's phones, but it didn't work on my father's. So, I just restarted my father's phone, and it works! Thanks!

[@JLoomis02]

I have tried everything and it didn't work until I accidentally hit reset all settings not the reset network settings and I tried to connect to wifi and boom! It works! Lol thank you so much!

[@sarahh1331]

Something else you didn't suggest was the following - after you've re-started your phone and unplugged the modem, I suggest toggling the wifi off and back on. Once you do that, click down to your wifi name and click on that. That's what I needed to re-connect onto my wifi. Had I known that, I wouldn't have gone all day without wifi on my phone. I have very little data so I basically stayed off my phone all day. I'm glad I didn't have to try the other things you suggested in this video.

[@scarletohara6743]

Taking off the VPN activation corrected my internet connection. Thanks guys!

[@voradorhylden3410]

Isnt it supposed to work with vpn. Sounds like the product you pay for doesnt work correctly and you should get paid for doing their job for them!

[@JohnPlataIII]

Thanks! That actually helped. Resetting my Wi-Fi settings under general Management was exactly what I needed. I had already tried forgetting the network but it wouldn't even give me the option.

[@toryglen]

Thanks for for all the tips. I have tried ALL except "Number 9: Reset Network Settings" But, all to NO avail. On three relatively older devices; Samsung Phone, iPad and older Samsung Tablet ALL could not connect to the Wi-Fi, one asked for authentication. In the end I managed to "ADD" these devices "onto" the Wi-Fi Hub (router) via the 192.168.0 protocol. (via my main PC) I added each device's MAC address connected to bands 2.4 or 5 or both, "onto" the Hub". That worked for me! It seems a convoluted way to do it, but I didn't want to reset everything. Now I have another issue about a Domestic Supplied App, or it's website, that won't work on my OPPO phone. But that's an issue for me now..... (to be continued).....

[@anncleverley4721]

Had same issue it was our router not being able to split from 5ghz to 2.4ghz. We now have a router that can.

[@MaricorLeusCruz]

Mine worked after unplugging and plugging the router... Thanks po!

[@spacemanjupiter]

The only problem I have and that I've always had is on some networks is asks you to choose an EAP method, and there are freakin 9 to choose from. I choose one and then it asks for a CA certificate but there is nothing available to choose except for 'Don't validate', which doesn't sound very secure, so I simply can't connect to WIFI on these networks (such as at my job). My iPhone doesn't ask me any of that stuff and just asks me for a username and password and simply connects. Why can't my Android phone just do this and not put me through an Android networking class 101 or lots of hoops?

[@risingvampire2883]

My android phone is still connected to wifi and is doing good, but the only problem is that the internet failed to work. It says here "Your connection is private".
