Cannot connect phone to wifi router!!!
I dont know if this is the right place to ask for help but im quite desperate at this point.
Short story I got home after 2 weeks and wifi acted slow and going offline for a few seconds.
We turned it restarted it,went offline for whole night, guy came in noon when i was out, gave new router

So heres the problem
Everyone is connected to the router but me
It says saved as in wifi but not connected
I restarted my phone,updated the system,have no problem connecting to phone wifi of my mom, restarted the router,turned on and off the router,pulled the plugs
Nothing

If anyone has any more ideas please help because i need the wifi everyday for a certain game and just 1 day off will end me

Phone is xioami redmi note 7

Alternatively, you can use your PC as a hotspot.

You think router is too powerful?
Currently at my friends house and wifi works just as fine

Maybe the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously is limited? Try disconnecting other devices and try again.

How would that matter?

if the phone has problems connecting to the router, in its wifi settings, forget the ssid, and add it again

the phone is probably trying to remember the settings from the other router if they both used the same ssid (wifi name)

when the phone connects, there is a huge difference between it connecting and working, and saying 'not internet access'

'no internet access' means something is blocking the phones access to google services, thats it
it may work on other apps but not some google services

Il try asking someone to turn off wifi on their phone then when i get home and try to enter myself but i dont have high hopes for that
We have 6 devices connected to the wifi and my friend too most likely when he visits

Dosent say no internet but rather just "saved"

It connects to my moms phone wifi no problem(connected)
If router is down, it will connect to tv casting wire and say "connected,no wifi" meaning i cant share screen from phone to tv

But wifi no matter if i type in correct password, it dosent say connected or anything, just saved
Cant press the wifi to open it or nothing
It like acknowledges the net but dosent connect to it

where it says 'saved' pick on it and hit forget
then connect using the password again

I did that many times yesterday and today
Whats interesting is i wrote wrong password on purpose too and it didnt said wrong password or anything like that but just saved

It shows like
Wifi: my moms(can connect if i tap it)
Router one(saved) tapping it does nothing
And rest is neighboor's passwords at the bottom all locked up

Step 1: Setting up your Mobile Hotspot on your PC

-Open Settings: On your Windows PC, click on the Start menu and select “Settings” (the gear
icon).

-Network & Internet: In the Settings window, click on “Network & Internet.”
Mobile Hotspot: In the left sidebar, find and select “Mobile hotspot.”

-Turn On Mobile Hotspot: Toggle the switch to turn on the mobile hotspot feature.

-Configure Network Settings: You can configure the network name (SSID) and password by
clicking on “Edit.” Make sure to note these details as you will need them to connect your phone.



Step 2: Connect your phone to your PC Hotspot:

- Open Wi-Fi Settings on Your Phone: On your smartphone, go to the settings menu and find
“Wi-Fi” or “Network & Internet.”

- Scan for Networks: Ensure that Wi-Fi is turned on, and then scan for available networks.

- Select Your PC’s Hotspot: Look for the network name (SSID) that you set up in Step 1 and
tap on it.

- Enter Password: When prompted, enter the password you configured for your hotspot.
Connect: Tap “Connect” or “Join” to establish a connection.

Step 3: Verify your connection

- Check Connection Status: Once connected, you should see a notification or an indicator
showing that you are connected to the internet via your PC’s hotspot.

- Test Internet Access: Open a web browser or any app that requires internet access on your
phone to ensure that everything is working correctly.

It seems to me that the router is not accepting your phone. It says "Saved" which is the equivalent of going to a job interview and the recruiter saying "We'll call you" and you waiting for the call to come but it never does.

did you try restarting the phone, or turning its wifi off and on again?
hold power and restart

"I restarted my phone,updated the system,have no problem connecting to phone wifi of my mom, restarted the router,turned on and off the router,pulled the plugs"

Reading goes a long way
