My phone keeps turning the wifi on and off, as well as continually searching for wifi.
While at school the other day I noticed my phone ( an LGG4 ) had disconnected from the school wifi, I didn't think too much into it as it happened sometimes. However once I got home, it never connected to my home wifi. When I went into the wifi settings to select my home network, no open networks were there, just continual searching for wifi networks.
I ended up looking up possible fixes but none of them worked; simple reset, total reset of my phone, manually entering the networks, etc. Nothing works.
Now tonight, it actually found the network, connected for about 3-5 seconds and then my wifi turned itself off, back on and there were no available networks again. It did this about 4-5 times before it finally stopped connecting.
And now I'm here, begging for a fix. It's really annoying me and I have to use my data for anything. Pleaase please help!!

Welcome to Android Central! Does this happen in Safe Mode as well? https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-28997. Is this a carrier-branded phone, or did you get it unlocked? If it's carrier-branded, which carrier? If it's Verizon, then you could try using their Software Repair Assistant, in case there's a problem with the firmware.

Sorry, but I'm not sure if there's much else you can do besides bring it to a repair shop.
