How To Fix Pixel 10 Wi-Fi And Bluetooth Not Working (2026)

If your Pixel 10 will not join Wi-Fi or its Bluetooth refuses to turn on or connect, you are dealing with a problem other owners have reported too.

Reports surfaced after the January 2026 update and again in July, and Google’s own help pages cover most of the fixes.

Work down this list from the quickest fix to the most drastic, and stop as soon as your connection comes back.

What Pixel 10 owners have reported

Android Central reported on January 27, 2026 that Pixel 10 owners saw Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turning off or failing, with one user saying Bluetooth no longer turned on.

It also listed Wi-Fi settings freezing with no networks shown, and noted Google’s January patch arrived on January 13.

Android Central said the cause was not confirmed and that it was only suggesting the patch because of the timing.

Toggle Wi-Fi and restart the phone

  1. Go to Settings, Network and internet, then Internet.
  2. Turn Wi-Fi off, then on again.
  3. Turn Airplane mode on, then off.
  4. Press and hold the power button and tap Restart.

Work out whether it is the phone or the network

  • Phone: if another device works on the same network, suspect the phone.
  • Network: if the phone works on a different network, suspect the original router.
  • Internet: if you connect but have no internet, suspect your internet service.

Forget the Wi-Fi network and add it again

  1. Go to Settings, Network and internet, Internet, then tap Saved networks.
  2. Tap the network and choose Forget.
  3. Back on the Internet screen, tap Add network, enter the name and password, then tap Save.

Set the date and time automatically

Google says an incorrect date or time can cause Wi-Fi problems.

Go to Settings, System, Date and time, and turn on Set time automatically.

Restart the router and modem

If you own the router and modem, Google gives a simple routine.

  1. Unplug both power cords for 15 seconds.
  2. Plug them back in and check every cable is secure at both ends.
  3. Wait a few minutes for the lights to return to normal.

If the lights are not normal afterward, Google says to contact your network administrator or internet provider, since there may be an outage.

Sign in to a public network

On hotel or cafe Wi-Fi, look for a sign-in notification or open a new page to find the login screen.

If that fails, touch and hold the network name, tap Forget, turn Wi-Fi off and on, then reconnect and accept the terms.

Check Adaptive connectivity

Android Authority’s July report included a Pixel 10 user whose phone kept switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data.

Google’s Wi-Fi page says to open Settings, Network and internet, Adaptive connectivity, and use the Auto-switch to mobile network option.

Google notes that turning it on may increase your mobile data use.

Reset Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings

Google’s Wi-Fi page lists this reset, and Android Authority said Google suggested it for a Pixel 7a owner whose problem it fixed.

Go to Settings, System, Reset options, Reset Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, then tap Reset settings at the bottom.

TechRadar noted that resetting network settings did not help some Pixel 10 users, so it is a try-it step and not a guarantee.

Test in Safe mode for a bad app

Google says to connect to Wi-Fi while in Safe mode, because a working connection points to a downloaded app.

If it works, restart to leave Safe mode and uninstall recently downloaded apps one at a time, testing after each.

If Wi-Fi still fails in Safe mode, Google says the network or internet connection is more likely the cause.

Fix Bluetooth pairing and audio

ProblemPath on the phone
Forget an old deviceSettings, Connected devices, Saved devices, gear icon, Forget
Pair againSettings, Connected devices, Bluetooth, Pair new device
No music from the accessorySaved devices, gear icon, turn on Media audio
No calls through the accessorySaved devices, gear icon, turn on Phone audio

Google also says to restart both the phone and the accessory before pairing again.

For Fast Pair accessories, keep the phone within 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) of the accessory and turn on Bluetooth and Location.

Use the Pixel Bluetooth diagnostics tool

Android Central found a Bluetooth diagnostics tool that runs tests and suggests fixes, and tested it on a Pixel 10 Pro.

It lives in Settings, then Connected devices, then Bluetooth diagnostics.

Pick your device, or choose Can’t find your device, then choose the issue and let it run.

Install updates and watch for hardware faults

Google says to check for the latest system update after reconnecting, because updates can fix connection problems.

Android Authority described one repair shop that fixed a Pixel 8’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi by replacing the wireless module, but said that is probably not the cause for most people.

Do not disable Google Play Services as one TechRadar-cited user did, because TechRadar warned it blocks the Play Store and affects many Google apps.

When to contact support

Google says to contact your internet provider, router maker or network administrator if you still cannot connect.

For help with the phone itself, Google points to the Pixel Phone Help Community.
