Galaxy S26 Stops Wi-Fi Dropouts by Disabling 2 Auto-Switch Settings

Two Intelligent Wi-Fi options — Switch to mobile data and Switch to better Wi-Fi networks — stopped a Galaxy S26 from repeatedly dropping its chosen home network when disabled.
Samsung hides those controls under Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi > Intelligent Wi-Fi, where aggressive auto-switching can push the phone onto cellular data or another saved network after brief signal dips.
Connectivity Labs then pinpointed weak-signal dead zones through the Home Wi-Fi Inspection tool, letting the user move the router until coverage stabilized.
A second Connectivity Labs feature, Nearby Wi-Fi Information, ranks public networks as Best, Good, Bad or Worst using signal and channel data.
If those built-in tools do not fix random disconnects or slow speeds, resetting network settings is the next suggested step.
