If your Android device is having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or even a cellular connection, there might be an issue with your network settings.

Your Android's network settings control what your device can connect to and how. These settings can sometimes become corrupted, which leaves your device unable to connect to anything around it.

Luckily, you can reset the network settings at any time. This won't delete any of your apps, photos, or other data. All it will erase are your saved Wi-Fi passwords, and other connection information.

It'll also likely help your Android device connect to the internet or Bluetooth again.

Here's how to reset your network settings on an Android phone or tablet.
