  • Forget the network. Go to Settings > WiFi.
    • Select your Wifi network and tap Forget.
    • Power off your device completely, then power it back on.
    • Go back into Settings > WiFi and reconnect to your network.
    • You will have to re-enter your WiFi password.
  • If you’re still unable to connect, reboot your WiFi modem:
    • Unplug your internet modem from its power adapter located usually behind it.
    • Wait 30 seconds.
    • Plug your internet modem back to its power adapter.
    • Wait 5 minutes for the modem to boot completely.
    • Try reconnecting with your Samsung Note 5.
  • If your Galaxy Note 5 still has issues and is the only device experiencing this problem, make sure it is up to date in Settings > About Phone > Software updates.
  • If your Samsung is up-to-date and still  you can’t connect or use the WiFi connection properly, perform a factory reset. For a complete guide on how to do it properly, please click here
