Fix Wi-Fi Issues
Is your Wi-Fi acting up on your Pixel 7? Let’s get that sorted out.
Check Your Wi-Fi Settings
First, let’s make sure your Wi-Fi settings are set up correctly. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi. Double-check that Wi-Fi is turned on and that you’re connected to the right network.
Why this helps: Ensuring you’re connected to the right network can solve minor issues quickly.
Reset Network Settings
If your Wi-Fi still isn’t working properly, try resetting your network settings. This will remove all your saved networks and Bluetooth devices.
- Open Settings.
- Scroll down to System.
- Tap Reset Options.
- Choose Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth.
- Confirm by tapping Reset Settings.
Why this helps: This step clears out any errors in your network settings that could be causing problems.
Turn Off Wi-Fi Adaptive Connectivity
Pixel 7 has a feature that tries to save battery by switching between Wi-Fi and mobile data. But sometimes, it just causes more problems.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Network & Internet.
- Select Adaptive Connectivity.
- Toggle it off.
Why this helps: Turning this off stops your phone from switching networks unnecessarily, helping your Wi-Fi stay stable.
Restart Your Pixel 7
This may sound simple, but restarting your phone can often fix small glitches.
- Press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button together.
- Select Restart.
Why this helps: Restarting your phone refreshes everything, including your Wi-Fi settings, which can help resolve any temporary issues.
Improve Bluetooth Performance
Having trouble with Bluetooth on your Pixel 7? Let’s fix that.
Make Sure Bluetooth is On
Start by making sure Bluetooth is turned on. Sometimes it’s the simplest things we overlook.
- Go to Settings > Connected Devices > Bluetooth.
- Make sure Bluetooth is toggled on.
Why this helps: This ensures that your phone is ready to connect to other Bluetooth devices.
Reset Bluetooth Settings
If Bluetooth is still acting up, a reset might do the trick.
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down to System.
- Tap Reset Options.
- Choose Reset Wi-Fi, Mobile & Bluetooth.
- Confirm by tapping Reset Settings.
Why this helps: This step wipes out any faulty Bluetooth connections that might be causing problems.
Move Away from Interference
Sometimes, other electronic devices can interfere with your Bluetooth signal. Try moving away from any devices like microwaves or Wi-Fi routers.
Why this helps: Reducing interference can help your Bluetooth work more smoothly.
Make 5G Work Better
If your 5G isn’t as fast as you’d like, here are some tips to help improve it.
Check for 5G Coverage
First, make sure you’re in an area that actually has 5G. If you’re not, your phone will struggle to find a good signal.
Why this helps: If you’re not in a 5G area, switching to 4G might be a better option.
Toggle Airplane Mode
Toggling Airplane Mode on and off can often refresh your network connection.
- Swipe down from the top of your screen to open quick settings.
- Tap Airplane Mode to turn it on.
- Wait a few seconds, then turn it off.
Why this helps: This resets your phone’s network connections, which can fix temporary issues.
Switch to LTE
If 5G is causing more trouble than it’s worth, try switching back to LTE.
- Go to Settings > Network & Internet > SIMs.
- Tap on Preferred Network Type.
- Select LTE instead of 5G.
Why this helps: In some areas, LTE is more reliable than 5G, especially if 5G coverage is weak.
With these steps, your Google Pixel 7 should stay connected without any issues.
