When your Android phone is experiencing some problems you will need to make sure that it is running on the latest software version before performing any troubleshooting steps. The reason behind this is to minimize the possibility of the issue being caused by a software bug which might be resolved by the new update. If an update is available then I suggest that you download and install it first.

Check if the problem is caused by the router

The first thing you will need to do in this case is to eliminate the possibility of the problem being caused by the router. Can other devices connect to the router successfully? Does the router have a setting activated that is blocking your phone from connecting to it?

Wipe the cache partition of the phone

There are cases when the cached data stored in the dedicated partition of the phone can become corrupted. When this happens this will usually cause certain issues to occur on the phone.
