How to solve Wi-Fi not working problem on Samsung Galaxy S10 even when WiFi is connected

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is arguably one of the best smartphones the company has ever built, but it, too, comes with its fair share of quirks. While the device’s sub-par battery has always been a talking point, new Wi-Fi connectivity issues have started making rounds around the smartphone community.

A number of users have been facing difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi networks around them. As per the sufferers, the phone would connect to a Wi-Fi network as expected but fail to load up webpages. To make it work, users are then forced to reconnect to the said network by toggling on/off the Wi-Fi through the Quick Panel.

If you are, too, facing something similar, there are a few methods you could try to get rid of the problem for good.
