It is possible that the problem is with your network devices such as your router or modem. Electronic devices, no matter what their functions are, need to be refreshed from time to time and you can do so by rebooting them. Don’t worry, you won’t lose anything if you did this. Here’s how…

1. Unplug the power adapter of your router and/or modem. 
2. If you have a modem that’s backed up by a battery, remove the battery as well. 
3. Leave the device without power for a minute or two. 
4. After that, plug it into the wall outlet again and then wait until it becomes online.
5. Let your phone reconnect to the network. 

If your Galaxy A20 still keeps disconnecting from the WiFi network after doing this procedure, then troubleshoot the firmware.
