I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but as I am with Quic thought I would try here.

I have a Samsung S24 phone (Android), which over the last month or so, I am having to disable the wireless connection on the phone and reconnect using the password again to get any wireless Internet connection (it just says unable to connect to Internet, until I do as mentioned). This could happen a few times a day. I am not sure if this is router related or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, David

100% its phone/router related.

What router ? Possible you have some limit enabled on devices.

Thanks xpd for the reply, the router is the Asus RT-AX5400. I have attached an image of the wireless general settings.

You could try disabling 5GHz first. If it works after this it could be interference, and selecting a different channel could solve it

For everyone else, the ISP has no control over your Wi-Fi and how it's setup.

Thanks for the reply, I have turned off 5GHz but no difference, so I set up a Guest Network on the router using WPA2 only (not WPA2/WPA3) but this still does not correct the issue. All I get is "connected without internet"
Actually, sometimes when I turn off auto connect and the set it back on, I will get the connection for a while.

thanks again,
David
