Troubleshooting a Galaxy A10 with WiFi connection that keeps dropping

We have already encountered issues like this before and based on our experience, it’s not a serious problem, provided that your phone doesn’t have signs of physical or liquid damage. With that said, here’s what you need to do if your WiFi connection keeps dropping: 

First solution: Power-cycle your network device to fix WiFi connection drops

Assuming that you’re connecting to your own WiFi network, the first thing you have to do is refresh your connection by simply rebooting your network device. Here’s what you need to do: 

  1. Unplug your modem or router from the wall outlet or simply disconnect the power cord from the main unit. 
  2. Leave it without power for a minute or two. 
  3. After that, plug it back into the wall outlet or reconnect the cord.
  4. Wait for the device to become online and then let your phone reconnect to it. 

After this, try to see if your WiFi connection still drops because if it does, then it’s time you troubleshoot your phone.

Second solution: Reset the Network Settings of your phone

Instead of forgetting your phone’s current connection, it’s best to simply do the reset on all the network settings. This will refresh the network services and delete your connection but it’s pretty effective against this problem. Here’s how it’s done: 

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull the notification panel down. 
  2. Tap the Settings icon on the upper-right corner. 
  3. Scroll to and tap General management. 
  4. Touch Reset. 
  5. Tap Reset network settings. 
  6. Tap Reset settings. 
  7. If prompted, enter your PIN, Password or Pattern. 
  8. Finally, tap Reset.

After this, enable WiFi on your phone and let it reconnect to the same network. If the WiFi connection still drops after this, then the next solution will fix it.

Third solution: Master reset your phone

Provided that your phone doesn’t have any signs of physical or liquid damage and that this problem started without apparent reason or cause, then a reset will fix this problem. That is, of course, after you’ve verified that the network you’re trying to connect is stable. 

Before the reset, make sure to create a backup of your important files and data because they will be deleted. After the backup, remove your Google and Samsung accounts so that you won’t be locked out of your device after the reset. When you’re ready, follow these steps to reset your phone: 

  1. Turn off the device.
  2. Press and hold the Volume Up and Power keys.
  3. When the Galaxy A10 logo shows, release all three keys.
  4. Your Galaxy A10 will continue to boot up into the Recovery Mode. Once you see a black screen with blue and yellow texts, proceed to the next step. 
  5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe data / factory reset’.
  6. Press Power button to select.
  7. Press the Volume down key until ‘Yes’ is highlighted.
  8. Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
  9. When the master reset is complete, ‘Reboot system now’ is highlighted.
  10. Press the Power key to restart the device.
