Don’t worry — this is a common issue and usually easy to fix!

Wi-Fi & Internet Error

Wi-Fi Keeps Disconnecting

What This Means (In Plain English)

Your device keeps losing its Wi-Fi connection and reconnecting. This unstable connection makes it hard to use the internet reliably.

Medium UrgencyWorth fixing soon, but no need to panic.

Common Causes

  • Weak Wi-Fi signal from being too far from the router
  • Interference from other electronics
  • An outdated or overheating router
  • Too many devices connected to the same network

How to Fix It — Step by Step

  1. 1

    Move closer to your Wi-Fi router.

  2. 2

    Restart your router (unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in).

  3. 3

    Forget the Wi-Fi network on your device and reconnect.

  4. 4

    Check if other devices also have the problem — if so, the router is the issue.

  5. 5

    On your device, check for software updates that might fix Wi-Fi bugs.

  6. 6

    If your router is old (more than 5 years), consider getting a newer one.

  7. 7

    Avoid placing the router near microwaves, baby monitors, or other electronics that can interfere.

How to Prevent This in the Future

Place your router in a central, elevated location. Keep it away from walls, metal objects, and other electronics. Consider a mesh Wi-Fi system for larger homes.
