Reboot your network device
When it comes to WiFi-related issues, you must always restart your router or modem, depending on your setup. It’s because the problem can be with your network device and not your phone. So before you troubleshoot your Galaxy A70, you need to rule out the possibility that your network device just needs to be refreshed.
Simply unplug the router from the outlet to turn it off. Leave it be without power for a minute or two. After which, plug it back in and wait until it starts to broadcast signal before you reconnect to it.
Check your other devices if they can connect to the same network
Just before you tweak or change something on your Galaxy A70, let your other phones, or other IP-enabled devices to connect to the same network and see if the WiFi connection also drops on them. If only your Galaxy A70 has this problem, then that’s the time that you troubleshoot it.
However, if other devices also drop the WiFi connection every now and then, then the problem can be with the router. For that, you need to call your Internet Service Provider so that it will be taken care of. But assuming that only your A70 has this problem, then move on to the next solution.

After making sure that the problem is not with your network device, the first thing that you have to do on your Galaxy A70 is the forced restart.

- Keep both keys held down together for 15 seconds or until the Galaxy A70 logo shows on the screen.
When your phone has finished rebooting, try to see if the WiFi connection still drops. If it does, then try the next solution.

This procedure has been proven to be very effective against all sorts of network problems on any Android device so it might help you fix this problem with your phone that keeps dropping its WiFi connection.

If all else fails, your last resort is a master reset. If this is just a problem with the firmware of your phone, then a reset should be able to fix it.
