Why does my wifi connection lose internet?

[JT Peters]

Switched internet providers and am now on AT&T. My Galaxy S7 phone connects to the router but often says no internet. If I turn off wifi on the phone and then back on it usually does fine, at least for a while.

My other devices stay connected, expecially my wifi only tablet. It was working great until the new router. Any suggestions?

My Galaxy s10+ had been doing the same thing

Hi. Does your new router have both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands? Does it do smart switching? Many devices don't do well with those types of routers. You may need to go into the router control panel and set up each band with its own SSID, e.g. Netgear87 and Netgear87-5GHz Then connect your phone to one of the WiFi bands. It should be more stable.

Try a network reset in settings

I don't know how to do a SOLVED on a message, I had already done the network reset that Mustang7757 suggested and it works now.

OOPS, I spoke too soon. It still drops the internet. I've done the reset many, many times. I've had the phone forget my router and then find it again. That didn't work. Until I got the new AT&T router it worked. All my other devices work. I've even considered a factory reset but since this is an older phone I don't know how much I would have to download to get it back. Any other suggestions?

I wasn't logged in when I posted the question. My new router is 2.4, 5, and I believe 6GHz. All my other devices work with it.

Check under wifi >advanced > wifi control history
Anything there?

I had 3 apps listed one from 2019 and 2 from 2018, so I don't think they are the culprits. But the phone has been up (connected with internet) for over 4 hours this morning. Nothing done differently, my wife turns it off at night and charges it. I brought up several of her apps with no problem. Hopefully this issue solved itself somehow.
