When you have a high-end smartphone like the #Google #Pixel, being able to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi is important. But there always comes a time when the phone fails to perform the most basic function it normally does when trying to connect to the web. In fact, we’ve received many complaints from our readers about the sudden inability to connect their device to their home Wi-Fi network.

In this post, we take a look at this issue that has been reported to us. Read on to learn more about these issues and how to troubleshoot your device if you encounter any of these issues in the future. Below is a list of issues that I have reviewed here.

What causes the WiFi network to forcibly restart when the Google Pixel 2 is connected

Many factors can interrupt Internet service on mobile devices. Some of the possible causes include account issues, network outages, improper settings, app failures, and improper updates. If possible, try to determine which of the likely causes is affecting your Google Pixel 2’s Wi-Fi features.

Other instances of Wi-Fi problems that occur on Android smartphones have to do with account issues. This can be one of the main reasons why your Google Pixel 2 can’t connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. To fix this possible cause, contact your carrier or service provider and make sure that everything is fine with your account and that you have the right data plan, to begin with.

The worst possible cause is faulty equipment. This is often the case if the phone has ever gotten wet or been dropped. Physical or liquid damage could have affected the Pixel 2 component responsible for providing Wi-Fi functionality. Unfortunately, hardware-related issues already require a support call.

Here’s how to fix a forced Wi-Fi network restart when the Google Pixel 2 is connected

Restart your network devices

If you reboot and see that your Google Pixel 2 is connected to Wi-Fi but doesn’t have Internet, restarting your networking hardware can fix your Wi-Fi issues:

1. Unplug the router from its power source.
2. Wait 30 seconds.
3. Reconnect the router to a power source.
4. Wait for the router to reboot and reconnect it to the Internet.
5. Reconnect your Pixel to Wi-Fi as usual.
6. Sometimes turning Wi-Fi off and on can have the same effect.

Forget Wi-Fi

If you reboot your network devices and have Wi-Fi issues, it’s probably Google Pixel 2’s fault. Fortunately, Google Pixel 2 problems of this nature can sometimes be solved by changing settings on the phone.

1. Unplug the Pixel 2 from the Wi-Fi network.
2. Reboot the device.
3. Go to Settings.
4. Go to Wi-Fi.
5. Select the network.
6. Select Forgot.
7. Re-enter your network information and try to connect again.

Clear your network settings

If the Google Pixel 2’s problems persist at this point, you need to take one more step to return to the default settings before factory resetting. By clearing the network settings, you can get rid of Wi-Fi issues while keeping all the data on your phone.

1. Turn off your Google Pixel 2.
2. Press and hold the power button and volume down button until the special welcome screen appears, then release them. (You’ll see an Android robot with the Start button at the top).

4. Confirm recovery mode by pressing the power button.
5. Press and hold the Power button when no controls appear under the Android robot.
