Good day. Is there any broken parts of my phone to fix wifi connection? the phone cant detect but others can, even the wifi is so close. Anyways my phone was falling from the table and i replace the lcd on it. and there is something parts is broken i guess.
 
Welcome.

Yes, if it was working well before, it’s quite possible that there is damage to an internal component. The WiFi antenna may have been damaged or disconnected, for example.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? See if there's a repair video for that phone on YouTube or elsewhere, focusing on the wi-fi antenna.

Thank you for the support. Its Huawei y5p. I repair it my self because its too far to go to phone tech. but i watch youtube on how to replace it
 
Your going have to open it back up and see if anything disconnected or broken if you don't see anything then try the repair shop unfortunately.

Since you replaced the LCD yourself that required you to pretty much do a complete tear-down your phone to get to the display assembly. Hopefully there was no physical damage to the logic board in that initial accident (I.e. the WiFi radio chip wasn't damaged). That would involve the need to replace a the entire logic board as the chip is soldered in place. But to open up the phone, that would probably require you to disconnect the antenna from the logic board, so perhaps all you need to do is reconnect it, or at least just re-seat its connector. This sounds likely considering the proximity matter you referred to.

Other than that, have you tried just restarting your router? I know you mentioned connectivity not being a problem with others but basic home networking isn't that simplistic, Depending on how extensive you or someone has configured you router's settings, you need to focus on your phone's WiFi connectivity, not everyone else's. Another way to check things is to try using a work or neighbor's WiFi network to see if the problem is just with your home network or just your phone.
