Why does the Wi-Fi on my Oppo R5 keep dropping and how can I improve its signal strength?

There could be several reasons why the Wi-Fi on your Oppo R5 keeps dropping. Here are some common causes and solutions to improve the Wi-Fi signal strength:

1. Distance from the router: If you are too far away from the Wi-Fi router, the signal strength may weaken, resulting in dropped connections. Try moving closer to the router or consider placing the router in a central location within your home or office.
2. Obstacles and interference: Physical obstacles such as walls, furniture, and electronic devices can obstruct the Wi-Fi signal. Make sure there are no large objects between your device and the router. Additionally, other wireless devices or appliances like cordless phones, microwave ovens, and Bluetooth devices can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Keep your Oppo R5 away from such devices or try changing the Wi-Fi channel on your router to minimize interference.
3. Network congestion: If there are many devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it can lead to network congestion and dropped connections. Try disconnecting some devices or upgrade your router to a model that supports higher data throughput.
4. Wi-Fi router issues: Sometimes the problem lies with the router itself. Restart your router by turning it off for a few seconds and then turning it back on. If the issue persists, you may need to update the firmware of your router or consider replacing it with a newer model.
5. Wi-Fi settings on your phone: Ensure that the Wi-Fi settings on your Oppo R5 are correctly configured. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and check if the Wi-Fi is enabled and connected to the correct network. You can also try "forgetting" the network and then reconnecting to it.
6. Software updates: Make sure your Oppo R5 is running the latest software updates. Manufacturers often release updates that include bug fixes and improvements to Wi-Fi connectivity.

If you've tried these steps and are still experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues, it's recommended to contact Oppo support or your internet service provider for further assistance.
