If restarting or rebooting your phone didn’t solve the problem, you might want to try performing a hard restart. A hard restart will erase all data from your phone’s memory. This should help fix any glitches that could be caused by system processes. Here’s how to perform a hard restart on your phone:
- Press and hold the Power and Volume Up buttons on your OnePlus 12 / 12R.
- Do not release the buttons until you see the OnePlus or the Android logo.
- Once your device has restarted, check to see whether Wi-Fi works again.
Solution 6: Reboot your Router
If you’re experiencing problems with your Wi-Fi, try restarting your router. When the router is having issues, it can affect the functionality of the Wi-Fi on your OnePlus 12 / 12R. Fortunately, fixing this issue is easy – just reboot your router.
Here’s how to restart your router:
- Unplug the router from the power outlet and wait for a few minutes.
- The more you wait, the better the result will be.
- Now, plug your router back in and see if the Wi-Fi works properly.
Solution 7: Check for Software Updates
If you’re having difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi, it’s recommended that you check for any available software updates on your device.

- Tap on About device.
- Then, tap on OxygenOS at the top of the screen.
- If an update is available, tap on Download and Install.
- Once the update is installed, restart your phone, and the issue should be resolved.
Solution 8: Reset Network Settings
If updating the software doesn’t fix the issue, you may want to try resetting your network settings. The network settings include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and VPN connection settings. Resetting the network often helps fix network-related issues, including Wi-Fi connectivity issues.
It is important to note that resetting your network will delete all your saved Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth devices, and VPN configurations. So, proceed with keeping this in mind. Here’s how to reset the network settings on your OnePlus 12 / 12R:
- Open the Settings app on your phone.
- Scroll down and tap on Additional Settings.
- Then, scroll down and select Back up and reset.
- Tap Reset phone and then Reset network settings.
- Enter your lock screen password and tap Reset network settings again to confirm. All your network settings will be reset.
- Once done, try connecting to Wi-Fi again; everything should work flawlessly.
Solution 9: Factory Reset your Phone
Finally, if everything fails to solve the issue, you should factory reset your phone. Factory resetting your phone will return it to its factory settings and solve any software bugs that might be causing the issue.
Performing a factory reset means that all your data will be deleted. So, take a backup of all your data before proceeding. Here’s how to factory reset your OnePlus 12 / 12R:
- First, take a backup of all your phone’s data.
- Once you have backed up everything, open the Settings app.
- On the Settings app, scroll down and tap Additional Settings.
- Then, scroll down and select Back up and reset.
- Tap Reset phone and then Erase all data.
- Enter your lock screen password and tap Erase data again to confirm.
- A factory reset may take around 15-20 minutes or more, depending on the amount of data you have.
- Once your phone is completely reset, you need to set it up as if it were new. Make sure you have an active internet connection during the setup.
