Question Less or No WiFi Connection is Better, Why

[jtv1]

I am using the Doogee N50Pro and I have a library of WiFi connections on my mobile phone, but it seems when I turn it on, my connections are minimal or non existent.​

Some of my apps have stopped working and crash my phone when I open them

Though I have about 250 apps, I have only used less than a quarter of the phone storage.

Would replacing the network card fix this issue?

Your question isn't entirely clear. Are you asking if your wi-fi connection issues are causing the phone to crash?

Regarding the wi-fi networks -- are you saying that even if the signal is strong on other devices, it's always weak on yours?

What apps are crashing? Are they legit apps installed from the Play Store, or are they APKs you got from some website?

How much internal storage does your phone come with? When I look up your phone, the main result is 256 GB. For comparison, my 128 GB Pixel 7 Pro currently has 207 apps (including some really big ones like Asphalt 9), and its storage is about half full, so if your phone has twice the storage as mine, it wouldn't be surprising for it to be about a quarter full. Also remember that of those 250 apps, a large number of them will be system apps that are each pretty small.

Regarding the WiFi query, if you have several saved WiFi networks it's very unlikely you're phone is within the coverage range of all of them at the same time. A WiFi signal can only extend out past a few hundred feet/meters at best in an open setting, and a lot less within a home or other building. So in a typical setting most of our phones will only be able to detect one or a scant handful in a house, or a handful in a more densely populated building like a condo or apartment. (.... with an issue being it's unlikely you can even connect to all of them anyway given they're password protected WiFi networks sourced by other households). Perhaps you're confusing the matter with cellular connectivity? WiFI signals are limited to feet/meters, cellular signals several hundred yards/kilometers.

Regarding the app part of your query, if a lot of them are crashing please provide more details. Are they actually crashing when you try to start them or after you've been using them for a bit?

As far as 'replacing the network card' there is no 'card' you can replace. A smartphone is not built like a traditional PC. The components inside a smartphone are soldered in place to a main logic board, they're not interchangeable. There's not network card, there's a WiFi, a cellular, and a Bluetooth chip and each a permanent part of your phone's internal logic board, so all of your network connectivity goes through one of them respectively. Perhaps with 'network card' you're referring to a SIM card? A SIM card only pertains to cellular connectivity. It stores your data with your chosen cellular service carrier.

Are the ones crashing up to date in the play store?

What kind of router do you have? Is it WiFi 5, 6, 6E, or something else? How many other devices are connected to your router? What frequency bands are the devices connected to? How close is this device to your router? Are there any sources of interference like microwave or baby monitor?
