[tharun53]

Hi, 

My wifi disconnects automatically even signal is high and connects after sometime. The wifi range is also very less compared to my old phone. Please help me with the issue ASAP. 

Thanks in advance

Hi tharun53,

Have you checked if Wifi scanning is disabled? You can go to Settings > Scroll down to Location > Tap 3 dots > Tap Scanning > Turn off Wifi Scanning.

Hi Anne,

I'm experiencing the same issues as the user above. I turned off Wifi scanning, it did not seem to help. I could be standing near my router and wifi will still disconnect and reconnect randomly. The phone is displaying full signal strength also.

Thanks

Hi salamancer,

Try to restart your router then reconnect. Then forget all devices from your phone and manually enter your network, Let me know if it works.

Hi,

I am having the same issue. Wifi stays connected. Suddenly there will be no internet connection. After this, the network is disconnected and is reconnected automatically. I've tried all the suggested solutions. Nothing works.

This happens randomly.

Is it a software or a hardware issue?

Should i replace my phone? It's just one day old.

Thanks.

Hi,

I face the same issue as well. It is completely random. 

Is it a software or a hardware issue?

Should I replace the phone? It is only one day old.

Thanks.

Same issue!

I turned off Wifi Scanning, it got a little better, but it is still disconnecting so often. I use Wifi at workpalce and compus. It seems that whenever it wants to change the router it disconnects. The signal is fine, but all of sudden it refuses to connect!

Just got my G5 Plus last night.  

Having the same issue.  Wifi randomly drops and then reconnects seconds later.  It is happening constantly.  Have tried all the suggested fixes.

Hi All,

Here`s what you can try:

1. Reset network settings. Go to Settings > Back up and Reset > Reset network settings > Tap Reset

2. Restart your router.

3. See if it happens in a different device.

4. Forget the network and manually add it.
