Fix: After Android 12 Update, WiFi Not Working on Pixel Device

Method 2: Check router settings

Many routers have special settings that limit the bandwidth per user or block internet connectivity. If you have a personal Wifi connection, then we recommend you remove such restrictions from your router.

If you are using a public or organization Wifi service, then you might have to connect with the authorities and reset such restrictions by making a request. Such restrictions are usually put on public wifi to limit the internet usage per person.

Method 3: Disable Battery Saver

Pixel smartphone comes with a battery saver option which helps them to preserve some battery juice by cutting off features like Bluetooth, Wifi, screen time, etc. Since it cuts down on connectivity options, it might be preventing your smartphone to connect to a Wifi router. Here’s is how you can disable it:

Open the Settings app and navigate to battery options.

Here click on the Battery Saver option.

Make sure these settings are turned off when charged. Now click on the Extreme Battery saver option.

Make sure you enable the never-use option. Now your Pixel smartphone will not go into extreme battery mode, and hopefully, you will not face any wifi connectivity issues.

Method 4: Disable Adaptive Battery

Apart from the battery saver option, there are other optimizations Google does with the name of Adaptive Battery. This saves the battery by optimizing and learning about your phone usage. But it can backfire when you’re not able to use the wifi connectivity due to this feature. So here’s how you can turn it off:

Open the Settings app and navigate to battery options.

Here click on the Adaptive Battery option.

Make sure you disable this setting. Once all settings are done, please restart your device and see if the issue is solved.

Conclusion

The issue of Wifi connectivity is very common and usually gets fixed when you restart your smartphone. But it is possible that you might have software issues and need to reset your smartphone. In some rare cases, it is possible that your Wifi hardware is not functioning properly and need repair. So please connect with the Pixel customer support team and elaborate on the issue with them.
