Your phone likely drops Wi‑Fi in the bedroom because the signal is getting weaker there, and phones have small antennas.
Most common reasons:
- Distance + walls: The bedroom may be just far enough away, and walls, mirrors, metal, or plumbing can block Wi‑Fi.
- 5 GHz signal fade: If your phone is on 5 GHz, it’s faster but weaker through walls. It may work elsewhere but fail in the bedroom.
- Interference: Baby monitors, Bluetooth devices, microwaves, and nearby electronics can make the connection unstable.
What to try:
- Move the router higher and more central.
- Connect the phone to 2.4 GHz if your router has separate bands.
- Keep the router away from cabinets, TVs, and metal objects.
If the problem only happens in one room, it usually points to weak coverage, not a phone defect.
