Try removing other networks

Restart your router
Just like restarting most of the devices to fix a bunch of random glitches, routers are no different. Press the restart button on the router to give it a fresh start. If there is no restart button on your router, simply disconnect it from the power supply then reconnect the same. If the device is not blacklisted by the router, this method will probably fix the issue.

Check the router settings
There might be some issue with your router. Most routers in the market have a client filtering system that works on MAC addresses. This can result in blocking your device or blacklisting.
Head to the wireless setting in your router and check the blacklist. Make sure your device is not there or blocked. Many network operators lock the Wi-Fi and won’t let users tamper with the setting. In such cases call your network provider and request them an engineer to fix it for you. (Above image shows how to do it in a D-Link router)

Upgrade router firmware
This step is to be done by professionals only as it takes time and knowledge related to network operations. One can download firmware manually from the official site of the router company and simply update it by logging into the network.
This step usually is not required as most of the routers automatically come with the latest firmware or auto-update themselves. Unless you are using some high-end router that requires a firmware update manually, then you might need to do it. We recommend not to try this process on your own. Instead, ask the customer support to send a technician if required.
These are 7 ways to fix Wi-Fi that keeps disconnecting and reconnecting on Android smartphones. These simple DIYs will surely fix the issue and connect you back to the internet hassle-free.
