How can I resolve Wi-Fi problems on Poco M6?

If you are facing any Wi-Fi connectivity issues on your Poco M6, here are some steps you can follow to try and resolve them.

Before diving into the deep end, start with some basic troubleshooting steps if you’re experiencing Wi-Fi issues on your Poco M6.

  1. Make sure your device’s Wi-Fi is turned on. Sometimes we forget to do this!
  2. If you tapped on the Wi-Fi tile on the Notification Panel but nothing happened, try tapping it multiple times.
  3. Also, make sure you’re connecting to the correct router. Check the router’s name.

These are the basic steps you need to follow to troubleshoot and get your Wi-Fi working again. If the problem persists, continue with more advanced solutions.

Restart Your Poco M6

A simple reboot can often fix many technical issues, including Wi-Fi problems. Try restarting your device and see if the issue is resolved.

Turn Off Bluetooth

Some users have reported that turning off their device’s Bluetooth helped to resolve their Wi-Fi issues. Bluetooth can interfere with Wi-Fi signals, causing connectivity issues. 

Try turning off your device’s Bluetooth and check if the problem persists. To turn off your Poco M6’s Bluetooth, follow these steps:

  1. Swipe down to open the Notification Panel and tap on the Bluetooth icon to turn it off. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Bluetooth and toggle it off.
  2. Check if your device is now able to connect to Wi-Fi.

If this doesn’t work, move on to the next solution.

Verify Network Band Compatibility

Your Poco M6 may be capable of connecting to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. However, not all networks support both bands. Make sure you are connecting to the right band according to your network’s specifications.

Toggle Airplane Mode

Turning on airplane mode and then turning it off after a few seconds can help reset your device’s network connections. Try this and then check if the Wi-Fi problem is resolved.

Refresh Connections

Sometimes, your device may have trouble connecting to a specific network. In such cases, try to forget the Wi-Fi network you’re connected to and reconnect to it. This can clear up any connection-related issues.

Test with Another Device

If you have another device that can connect to the same Wi-Fi network without any issues, then the problem may lie with your Poco M6.

In such cases, it may be necessary to further troubleshoot the device’s Wi-Fi hardware..

Update the Software

Update Phone

Make sure your device is running the latest Android version. Check for any available updates and install them if necessary. This can often fix bugs and improve overall performance, including Wi-Fi connectivity.

Restore Factory Settings

If all else fails, you can try restoring your Poco M6 to its factory settings. This will erase all data and settings on your device, so make sure to back up any important information beforehand.

Resetting Router to Default Settings

If the issue persists even after trying all of the steps above, the problem might be with the router itself. In this case, you can try to factory reset the router. 

This will erase all the settings on your router including any custom passwords or network names, so make sure to note them down beforehand.

After resetting the router, you can set up the network again and try connecting your Poco M6 to it. If the problem continues, you might need to contact your Internet Service Provider for further assistance.

Optimizing Connection Distance

If you are experiencing a weak Wi-Fi signal, try moving closer to your router or access point. The farther away you are from the source, the weaker the signal will be.

Confirm Your Network Access Credentials

If you’re still encountering difficulties with your Wi-Fi connection, it’s essential to verify your network access credentials. Ensure you are using the correct network name (SSID) and password.

If you’re not sure about these details, you can usually find them on the bottom or side of your router or in the documentation provided by your ISP. 

If you’ve changed these details and forgotten them, you may need to reset your router and set it up again, or contact your ISP for assistance. 

Remember, network passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure you’re entering each character correctly.

Check MAC Address Restrictions

Certain routers come equipped with a feature known as MAC address filtering. This security measure only allows devices with specific MAC addresses to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

If your Poco M6 is experiencing connectivity issues, one possible reason could be that its MAC address is not recognized by your router. 

To resolve this, you’d need to check your router’s settings and ensure your device’s MAC address is allowed, or simply disable this feature if it’s not needed. 

Always make sure to secure your network with a strong password if you choose to disable MAC address filtering.

Ruling Out Hardware Issues

If you have exhausted all troubleshooting options and are still experiencing Wi-Fi problems with your Poco M6, there may be a hardware issue. 

In such cases, it is best to contact the manufacturer or bring your device to a certified repair center for further assistance. 

Remember to always prioritize your safety and trust professionals when it comes to hardware repairs.
