Samsung: Reset Network Settings

If WLAN keeps dropping, Bluetooth won't pair, or mobile data refuses to connect on your Samsung phone, a corrupted network profile is often the cause. Reinstalling drivers or restarting the phone rarely fixes it, since the faulty configuration stays stored in the system. Resetting network settings clears WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile network configs back to factory state, but it also erases every saved WLAN password.

Reset Network Settings auf Samsung

Network problems on a Samsung phone usually trace back to a single corrupted configuration file rather than a hardware fault. WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile network settings are stored together in one system profile, and once that profile gets damaged by a failed update or a bad access point, none of the three connections behave reliably.

Resetting network settings deletes this profile and rebuilds it from the factory defaults. It affects only connectivity: paired Bluetooth devices, saved WLAN networks with their passwords, VPN configurations and APN settings for mobile data are all removed. Apps, photos and personal files stay untouched.

Use this reset when WLAN won't connect to a network it used to work with, Bluetooth devices fail to pair, or mobile data stays disconnected despite good signal. If only one specific WLAN network causes trouble, forgetting that single network is a lighter fix and keeps every other saved connection intact.

To reset, go to SettingsGeneral managementResetReset network settingsReset settingsReset. Confirm the action, since it cannot be undone. After the reset, reconnect to WLAN networks manually and re-pair Bluetooth accessories.

Frequently asked questions
