Forgetting Wi-Fi Networks

Tags wifi

Forgetting, or removing, Wi-Fi networks can help resolve internet connection issues. For example, your device might be trying to connect to a known network with an incorrect username or password, leading to account lockouts. Additionally, software updates and patches might interfere with saved information, preventing users from connecting to a network.
