Wifi disconnects for half a second

[andrewvcle]

A highend phone like this should not happen. This started when I bought my phone 2 years ago. My wifi suddenly disconnects, forcing my mobile data to turn on for 2 seconds. After 2 seconds, my wifi comes back on back to normal. This repeats about every 5-15 minutes. 

If I was watching youtube, this is not much of a big deal, but if I was playing a game and the wifi disconnects, some games (ex. Clash Royale) forces me to reset the app, causing a loss in the game. I've been dealing with this for 2 years and I'm fed up. Does anyone know hlw to fix this?

Resetting network settings does not fix it.

This does not happen on other devices, so the problem is not the router.

Check these Settings in - Settings - Connections - WiFi - Advanced Settings - If you have either of them Toggled ON - That could be the issue you are having - If Toggled ON - Toggle them BOTH OFF & test 🐧

is this happening on ever wifi network you are connected too or only a certain wifi connection?

This is an important question.  If it's only your network, it may be a issue with your wireless access point.

Happens on every wifi network, but it never happens on my other devices whether I'm at home or not.

Was it a hardware or software issue? Not sure if I can fix it if it's hardware.
