Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 – Wifi Not Working – What to Do

Since most of us rely on internet-based applications for work and personal use, the lack of wifi connection can be very frustrating. Mobile internet is helpful if you need to be online at a moment’s notice, but it comes with its own limitations.

Tap on the switch next to Wi-Fi to toggle it off.

Other Wifi Problems

The reason you cannot connect to your wifi might be due to factors other than your phone. These are some of the potential problems:

Router Problems

Your wifi router could be at fault. If you can’t connect your other devices to the same router, you should restart the router and the modem.

Provider Problems

If you still cannot connect to the router after the restart, you should contact your internet provider. The problem could be on their side.

Endnote

If the methods above fail to fix your wifi issue, there might be some problems with your phone’s hardware or software. At this point, it is wise to seek professional help or take the phone to a service center.
