Why does my Wi-Fi connection keep dropping?
Frequent Wi-Fi drops can be due to network congestion, interference, or router issues.
Wi-Fi connection drops can stem from various issues, including network congestion, signal interference, or outdated router firmware. Start by restarting your router and modem, as this refreshes the connection. Position the router in a central location away from walls and obstructions, as well as from other electronics that might interfere with the signal, like microwaves or cordless phones. Changing the router’s frequency band from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz (if supported) can reduce interference, as 5 GHz is typically less crowded. Updating the router firmware can resolve known issues and improve stability. Additionally, limit the number of devices connected to the network during high-demand activities, as too many devices can overwhelm bandwidth. If connection drops continue, a Wi-Fi extender or mesh network may help improve coverage.
