What could be causing the weak Wi-Fi connection and frequent disconnections on my Asus ZenFone 8?

There can be several reasons why you are experiencing a weak Wi-Fi connection and frequent disconnections on your Asus ZenFone 8. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps to consider:

1. Signal Interference: Wi-Fi signals can be affected by physical objects and electronic devices that cause interference. Walls, furniture, appliances, cordless phones, and Bluetooth devices can all impact signal strength. Ensure that your ZenFone 8 is not too far from the Wi-Fi router and minimize obstructions between the device and the router.
2. Distance from Router: The farther you are from the Wi-Fi router, the weaker the signal becomes. Make sure you are within a reasonable range of your Wi-Fi router and try moving closer to it to improve the signal strength.
3. Router Issues: There could be issues with your Wi-Fi router that are affecting the connection. Try restarting the router by unplugging it from the power source, waiting for a few seconds, and plugging it back in. This can resolve temporary glitches or connectivity problems.
4. Network Congestion: In crowded areas with many Wi-Fi networks, there may be interference or congestion that affects your connectivity. Changing the Wi-Fi channel on your router's settings to a less crowded channel can help improve the connection.
5. Wi-Fi Settings: Verify that your ZenFone 8's Wi-Fi settings are correctly configured. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi, select your network, and ensure that the settings are appropriate (e.g., DHCP is enabled, there are no proxy settings enabled unless required by your network).
6. Software Updates: Ensure that your Asus ZenFone 8 is running the latest software updates. Software updates often include bug fixes and improvements that can enhance Wi-Fi performance. Check for updates in your device's settings or through Asus's software update feature.
7. Forget and Reconnect: In the Wi-Fi settings on your ZenFone 8, forget the problematic network and then reconnect to it. This can establish a fresh connection and resolve any temporary issues.
8. Wi-Fi Hardware Issues: If none of the above steps resolve the problem, there may be a hardware issue with the Wi-Fi component of your ZenFone 8. In such cases, it is recommended to contact Asus's customer support or visit an authorized service center for further assistance.

Please note that these are general troubleshooting steps, and the exact steps may vary depending on the specific software version and configuration of your Asus ZenFone 8. It's always a good idea to refer to the user manual or consult Asus's support resources for more specific guidance.
