I was having issues with my wifi turning off on its own and sometimes not connecting at all. A software update was pushed to my phone last night. Wifi still keeps disconnecting. Can we get this fixed ASAP?

Go to settings >> Apps >>> Apps Settings >>> Special Access >>> Wifi Control (it's near the bottom)
Check and see what has Wifi control and go from there. My galaxy watch was disconnecting me from my wifi, once i figured that out, my phone has been fine.

I just tried your suggestion. Turned off all apps ability to turn on/off wifi and restarted my phone. Still not working

Go to your Samsung account and open linked devices,  if you have a smart TV, it'll be shown under registered devices.  here you'll find a device or devices that should not be there.   This is the reason your wifi keeps going to sleep,  someone has access to your phone, and can control all settings and ultimately your personal information.Remove them at once.  After you have done this,  reset your router (change wifi name,  password) and your account password.  once this is all done, you have to back up the changes in the Samsung Cloud.  So you may also want to turn off auto sync to Cloud, so if this happens again you can restore your data from this point.  I hope this helps and be careful of what websites you visit

So I tried this..as i think i have tried everything under the sun. Worked for about a few hours...then boom...dropped bluetooth and wifi at the same time. Restarted phone and it came back on.

 

Samsung! obviously there is some sort of conflicting hardware/software issue where we are losing wifi/bluetooth but you don't have any permanent solutions. People are complaining from 21s to foldable phones so it can't be an isolated event.

Anyone else having an issue with WiFi turning off and then struggling to turn on again after the last update? I have a Samsung S215G FE. I have reset my mobile network, reset my wifi and bluetooth network, rebooted my router (happens at work too, so that's not it and my tvs stream fine), restarted my phone and 'forgot' my wifi and reconnected. I'm at a loss! Then it won't even find any wifi when I try to turn it off and on. Help?

My WiFi disconnects but comes on a second later. You can see it disconnect and connect in a blink of an eye.

I had to change my wifi to wpa3 to resolve my frequent disconnects. I think it may be android 14 issue.
