The Xiaomi Mi A3 is one of the cheapest terminals of the Chinese firm. Although its arrival on the market occurred with some controversy for not improving some aspects that made the Mi A2 a super-sales, the truth is that it is still a good option for those who do not want to reach the threshold of 200 euros. Today we are going to talk about the problems that the Mi A3 suffers with the Wi-Fi connection and its possible solutions.
Virtually no smartphone on the market is trouble free. Sometimes these failures can be solved with a simple update, but in others it will be up to the user to make some adjustments so that everything returns to work normally. There are few users who have filled the forums reporting problems with the Wi-Fi connection of the Xiaomi Mi A3, although in many of those cases the solution is simpler than it seems.
Problems
If your Mi A3 cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network, you suffer constant connection cuts or you can not find the network directly , check out the following tips that have favorably resulted in many of the terminal owners who had the same problem.
Possible solutions
Update Pending
It is the first natural step that we should check whenever any problem arises. Many times we have postponed a patch and precisely that update is intended to fix many known errors. If so, we must update the terminal as soon as possible and check if the problem has disappeared.
Overheating
Sometimes a game or an app can make the processor work in excess, with the consequent increase in temperature that this implies. This will cause that as a security measure, some functions of the terminal are deactivated, including some antennas such as Wi-Fi or GPS. In this case we must exit the app, disconnect the terminal (if any) from the power, restart and let it stand for at least 10 minutes. After this, the connection should be operational again without problem.
Enter the router
We may need to make a part of simple adjustments to our router options. Many users have worked to change the channel , since by default it is usually automatic. In Google Play we can find applications that will tell us which is the best channel (less saturated and powerful) to connect our Mi A3, such as Wifi Analyzer.
Similarly, it usually works to change the frequency band from 2.4 GHz to 5 GHz or vice versa. Once done it is convenient to restart both the router and our device.
Reset Settings
Our mobile phone may have been saturated with information and begin to give compatibility problems even with a network to which it used to connect perfectly. In that case it may be necessary to reset the network settings. To do this we go to the menu «Settings> System> Reset the network settings». We must also go through «Settings> Storage> Free cache» . Once done we restart the device and verify that the WiFi connection is made correctly and without cuts.
If everything fails
If all of the above fails, we will always have the factory reset , provided we first make a backup of all our personal data. This option can solve the problem, as a previous step before going to the Technical Service and makes use of our guarantee, since it could be a hardware problem that must be solved by a specialist.
