If wifi on your Galaxy S10 is not working and you don’t know how to begin troubleshooting it, you’re reading the right article. Below are the steps that you can do to fix your Galaxy S10 with a wifi issue.

Wifi not working fix #1: Restart your router and confirm wifi is working

Majority of wifi problems are fixed by simply restarting the router. If you’re wondering how to fix  wifi not working issue on your Galaxy S10, make sure that this is the first thing that you do. To properly restart the router, make sure to unplug its power cable either from the outlet or from the router itself. Then, wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on.

Once the router has been restarted, check for the problem again and see if wifi is working on your S10. If the problem remains, check if the issue lies on the router itself, or if it’s in your S10. to do that, you need to use another wireless device like another smartphone, laptop, or tablet. Make sure that any of these devices is connected to your wifi and see if internet works. If the second device has wifi internet but your S10 does not, proceed to the next troubleshooting step.

Wifi not working fix #2: Identify your wifi problem

There can be a variety of wifi problems. Sometimes, Android users may encounter slow internet issue and call it a wifi problem. For some, intermittent connection may also be labeled as wifi issue. In this article, we assume that your wifi is unable to allow you to connect to the internet (no internet issue) but if you have another form of wifi problem, be sure that you identify it for easier troubleshooting. We try to make our solutions as applicable to as many forms of wifi problems as possible so we hope that this guide is of help.

Once you’ve identified the problem, you can then go ahead and continue troubleshooting it. This post is mainly to help Galaxy S10 users fix their wifi issue so majority of the solutions can only be performed on the device. This also assumes that there’s no problem with the wifi network itself but rather on the S10. If you have established the fact that your wifi is working, then continue with the troubleshooting below. If the problem lies on the router or your wifi network, you should consult your router manufacturer or your Internet Service Provider for help.

3. If Maintenance Boot Mode screen won’t show, then your device does not have it. Simply wait for the device to power down completely.

Wifi not working fix #4: Wipe cache partition

Android depends on a set of temporary files called system cache to load apps quickly. If this cache gets corrupted or outdated, a device may suddenly lag, freeze, or show signs of slow performance. At other times, uncommon glitches may occur as well as overall performance of the system may also be affected. To ensure that your S10 has good system cache, we suggest that you clear it once every few months. Here’s how to do it:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.
3. When the green Android logo displays, release all keys (‘Installing system update’ will show for about 30 – 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
4. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight ‘wipe cache partition’.
5. Press Power button to select.
6. Press the Volume down key until ‘yes’ is highlighted and press the Power button.

In order to forget your wifi network:

2. Tap and hold the wifi icon.

Wifi not working fix #8: Check for rogue apps

Sometimes, a poorly coded app or malware may interfere with Android and cause problems. To check if you have a third party app problem, restart the phone to safe mode. On safe mode, all third party apps, the ones you downloaded that did not come with the original software, will be suspended. So, if the problem comes from one of them, the problem you’re experiencing right now will not be available on safe mode. To boot the phone to safe mode:

1. Turn the device off.
2. Press and hold the Power key past the screen with the device name.
3. When ‘SAMSUNG’ appears on the screen, release the Power key.
4. Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
5. Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
6. Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
7. Release the Volume down key when you see ‘Safe Mode’.

If your Galaxy S10 wifi works normally on safe mode and you think that you have an app problem, you should investigate further. To identify the culprit, you can use the method of elimination. Here’s how:

1. Boot to safe mode.
2. Check for the problem.
3. Once you’ve confirmed that a third party app is to blame, you can start uninstalling apps individually. We suggest that you begin with the most recent ones you added.
4. After you uninstall an app, restart the phone to normal mode and check for the problem.
5. If your S10 is still problematic, repeat steps 1-4.
