To use Wi-Fi the way you want, you can change how and when your device connects.
When you have Wi-Fi turned on, your device automatically connects to nearby Wi-Fi networks you've connected to before. You can also set your device to automatically turn on Wi-Fi near saved networks.

It might sound simple, but sometimes that's all it takes to fix a bad connection. If restarting doesn't work, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data: Open your Settings app and tap Network & internet or Connections. Depending on your device, these options may be different.
From your Home screen, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.Turn on Wi-Fi.Your device will automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks. Tap the name of the Wi-Fi network that you want to join.
To find your network SSID, click on the Wi-Fi icon or tab on your device. This will open the list of available Wi-Fi networks. Search for the network you're connected to — that's your Wi-Fi SSID. Routers come with default SSIDs that manufacturers create by combining a company's name with random numbers or letters.
Enter the network password and tap Join. Android: In the notification bar, tap Wi-Fi > Details. Select a network and tap Add Network. Enter the password.
If the Wi-Fi password has changed, your phone will still use the old password to connect. The connection will fail, and you'll notice that Wi-Fi is working for everything else except your phone. You should also check if you're connected to the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency.
Resetting network settings on an iPhone or Android smartphone will not delete any mobile carrier functionality or account information. The process resets any changes to mobile preferences you may have made since you activated your device.
Check if the router is working properly. Make sure that it's powered on, connected to the Internet, and that your phone is within the router's Wi-Fi range. In addition, if too many devices are connected to one router, the Wi-Fi may not be detected. Note: The router display may vary from device to device.
