If you\u2019re encountering error while connecting to a Wi-Fi network on Android, please follow the steps given in this article.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Check the Password<\/b><\/h2>\n

The first possibility is that the authentication has failed. Make sure you entered valid password. Check the upper case, lower case letters, numbers and special characters, if any.<\/p>\n

Create a Shortcut for Wi-Fi<\/b><\/h2>\n

Try creating a shortcut for your Wi-Fi on your main screen. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n

1. Tap and long hold on an empty area of the main screen.<\/p>\n

2. This opens up All Widgets screen.<\/p>\n

3. Tap the screen from right-left to view other pages.<\/p>\n

4. Drag and drop the \u201cWi-Fi\u201d icon on your main screen.<\/p>\n

Ascertain Signal Strength<\/b><\/h2>\n

Go to Wi-Fi settings and ascertain the signal strength. Check the connection status and signal strength.<\/p>\n

1. Unlock the phone.<\/p>\n

2. Tap Menu key.<\/p>\n

3. Tap Settings icon, and then Wi-Fi icon.<\/p>\n

4. Now that you have different Wi-Fi connections and status. Check the status of your active Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Is the Status displayed to be connected?<\/li>\n
  • What is the Signal Strength? Is it poor?<\/li>\n
  • Check the Link Speed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    6. Diagnose the problem accordingly.<\/p>\n

    Determine Background Synchronizations<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Many apps synchronize data in background. To fix Android Wi-Fi errors it is important to stop background sync.<\/p>\n

    1. Press Menu, tap Settings.<\/p>\n

    2. Tap Accounts & Sync.<\/p>\n

    Did you install new apps recently? Uninstall them as follows:<\/p>\n

    1. Tap Menu.<\/p>\n

    2. Press and long hold icon of any app that you want to uninstall.<\/p>\n

    3. Now that you\u2019ve two options at the top of the screen- Uninstall or Cancel. Select the former.<\/p>\n
