Pixel 6 Pro turning off WiFi, won't find networks until reboot.

[dostrowski]

A very recent problem, maybe 3 weeks is that when I get home my Pixel 6 Pro will turn off WiFi.

When I notice that it's off, I'll turn it back on and it won't be able to find ANY networks. If I reboot it, WiFi comes back up and it recognizes my home network.

This only started recently, last few weeks, and I noticed I got an update MAYBE around the same time? I noticed because my theme (Style) changed from a custom one to green without asking me, but it says the update is originally from May 5th when I go to System -> System Update.

This is really obnoxious because it's made me use up all my data for the month without knowing it. It literally happened as I was typing this, I was on WiFi and then now it says "No other networks available" while searching WiFi and finding nothing.

When I go to "Network and Internet" and then "Internet" the Wi-Fi is unchecked even if I check it in the drop down. Network preferences are set to "Wi-Fi turns back on automatically". "Switch to mobile data automatically" is off.

Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

Welcome to AC!
Have you tried resetting network in settings?

 

[dostrowski]

Hmmm, I haven't but I will give it a shot.

EDIT: Did not work. I was prompted to try Safe Mode, as well, which I guess I will try.

Ok yeah definitely try safe mode

Some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue-
1. Restart your phone
2. Forget and reconnect to Wi-Fi networks
3. Clear cache partition

I'm facing the same issue, were you able to find a solution?
I have additional issue, it does not only lose Wifi connectivity, the password won't be accepted!

Welcome to AC!

Over a year and OP hasn't come back to confirm, are you using the same device?

Hello, Thanks!

Yes, I have a Pixel 6 Pro used by my son, I tried factory reset, and even reinstalled the full image.
Could this be a hardware issue?

Yeah sounds like hardware, you tried safe mode also?

Probably have to take it to a repair center to see if it's worth fixing or getting something newer.
