It can be frustrating when your Tecno Pova Slim 5G refuses to save Wi-Fi passwords. Each time you reconnect, the phone asks for the password again, making browsing inconvenient and unreliable. Luckily, there are several ways to fix this issue.
Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Might Not Save Wi-Fi Passwords
- Corrupted Wi-Fi settings or saved networks.
- Software bugs or outdated system software.
- Power-saving settings interfering with Wi-Fi memory.
- Glitches in network configuration after recent updates.
- Using the wrong security type for the Wi-Fi network.
Forget and Reconnect to the Wi-Fi Network.
If the Wi-Fi profile stored on your phone is corrupted, it may fail to remember the password. Forgetting and reconnecting creates a fresh connection.
- Open Settings, and then tap Network & internet.
- Tap Wi-Fi, and then select the network that is not saving.
- Tap Forget, and then reconnect by entering the Wi-Fi password again.
Restart Your Phone and Router.
Temporary glitches in either the router or your phone can stop passwords from being saved. Restarting both clears cached errors and refreshes the connection.
- Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
- Unplug the router from power for 10 seconds, and then plug it back in.
Disable Battery Saver or Power Saving Features.
Some power-saving features may limit background network processes, preventing Wi-Fi profiles from being stored properly.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Battery Saver, and then make sure it is turned off.
Update Software.
Outdated firmware can cause Wi-Fi and connectivity issues. Keeping your phone updated ensures compatibility with your router.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Software update, and then tap Check for updates.
Reset Network Settings.
If nothing else works, resetting network settings clears all Wi-Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth configurations. This often resolves stubborn Wi-Fi memory issues.
- Open Settings, and then tap System.
- Tap Reset options, and then tap Reset Wi-Fi, mobile, and Bluetooth.
Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G should now save Wi-Fi passwords without asking every time. If the problem continues, try testing with a different Wi-Fi network to see if the issue is with the phone or the router.
FAQs
Why does my Tecno Pova Slim 5G keep asking for the Wi-Fi password?
This usually happens because the saved Wi-Fi profile is corrupted or because of a bug in the system software. Forgetting and reconnecting often fixes it.
Will resetting network settings delete my files?
No. Resetting network settings only clears Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data configurations. Your apps, photos, and personal files remain safe.
Can router settings affect Wi-Fi password saving?
Yes. If the router uses an unusual security type or has issues with DHCP, your phone may fail to save the login details. Resetting or updating the router can help.
