How to Boost WiFi Signal on Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge
If you own a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge and want to improve your WiFi signal, I can help you with that. It can be really frustrating when you have a weak WiFi connection and it slows down the loading of webpages or affects your experience with apps like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, and YouTube.
There can be several reasons why your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge is experiencing slow internet connection and pages not loading. Before I explain the different ways to strengthen your WiFi on these devices, let me share some possible causes for this issue:
- Weak or low signal strength.
- Poor WiFi network.
- The website you’re trying to access is under heavy load or has too many users.
- Network congestion or too many users on the network.
- Background apps using up your internet.
- Low device memory.
- Corrupted or full internet cache.
- Outdated firmware on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
- Your browser software needs an update.
- You have exceeded your data speed limit or reached a speed reduction.
Any of these reasons could be causing your slow WiFi connection on the Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge. If you have already checked and still can’t figure out how to fix the bad internet problem, follow the instructions below to boost the WiFi signal on your device.
Step 1: Scan your Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge for Malware
If none of the previous methods have helped solve the slow internet connection on your Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge, it’s worth checking if there is any malware on your phone. You can download a free anti-virus app from the Google Play Store. Make sure to choose an app with good reviews and feedback to get the best results in fixing the weak internet problem.
If the malware scan detects any issues, try clearing the cache and data on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge. If the problem persists, you may need to perform a factory reset to restore your device to its default settings. Before doing this, remember to back up all your files and information to prevent any data loss.
Step 2: Clear Caches on your Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge
In most cases, following the steps mentioned above will help resolve the slow internet problem on your Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge. However, if for some reason the internet remains slow, you can try clearing the cache partition to fix the issue. This method doesn’t delete any data from your device, so your photos, videos, and messages will remain safe. You can perform the “Wipe Cache Partition” function in the Android recovery mode. Check out this guide to learn how to clear cache on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
Step 3: Turn off WiFi on your Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge
It’s common to have your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge still connected to a weak WiFi signal. Make sure to check if your WiFi is disabled or turned off. Here’s how you can access the WiFi settings on your device:
- Turn on your Samsung Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge.
- Select “Menu”.
- Tap on “Settings”.
- Select “Connections”.
- Choose “Wi-Fi”.
- Turn off the Wi-Fi by touching the ON/OFF slider next to it.
Step 4: Get Technical Support
If you have tried everything to fix the slow internet connection on your Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge and it’s still not working properly, it’s recommended to take your smartphone to the store or a shop where it can be physically checked for any damage. A technician can determine if your device is defective and provide you with a replacement or repair it if necessary.
