Android Phone Keeps Disconnecting from Wi-Fi? 10 Fixes

Does your Android phone keep disconnecting from Wi-Fi, only to reconnect a few seconds later? Frequent disconnections can interrupt video calls, downloads, online games, and everyday browsing.

The cause may be a weak wireless signal, router problems, a saved network configuration, or a setting on your phone. In this guide, you will learn how to identify the cause and fix an unstable Wi-Fi connection without making unnecessary changes.
