Introduction
If you are experiencing Wi-Fi connection issues on your Google Pixel, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the problem. This guide will walk you through the process of solving Wi-Fi connection issues on your device.
Step 1: Restart your Google Pixel
The first step in resolving Wi-Fi connection issues is to restart your Google Pixel device. To do this, follow these steps:

Step 2: Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength
Weak Wi-Fi signal can cause connection issues. To check the Wi-Fi signal strength on your Google Pixel, follow these steps:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification shade.
- Tap and hold the Wi-Fi icon to open the Wi-Fi settings.
- Look for the Wi-Fi network you are connected to and check the signal strength indicator.
If the signal strength is weak, try moving closer to the Wi-Fi router or access point to improve the connection.
Step 3: Forget and Reconnect to Wi-Fi Network
Forgetting and reconnecting to the Wi-Fi network can sometimes resolve connection issues. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your Google Pixel.

After the update, try connecting to Wi-Fi again to see if the issue has been resolved.
Step 5: Reset Network Settings
