In today’s digital age, Internet has become the basis of almost every work. Be it home or office, use of Wi-Fi has become a part of our daily life. But many users must have experienced that despite the password being wrong, the Wi-Fi connection keeps showing ‘Connecting…’ on the screen. This not only wastes time but also confuses people at times.

Actually seeing the ‘Connecting…’ message of Wi-Fi is part of a technical process. When you try to connect to a network, the device starts an automatic checking process. In this it is seen that
Whether the device is able to access the network or not.
Password and security are being verified.
Checking IP address and connectivity to DNS server.

illusion of connection
Many times there is an illusion that the connection is successful, but in reality the device is continuously verifying the password. If the password is incorrect, the network will eventually refuse the connection, but ‘Connecting…’ remains for a few seconds or minutes.
Experts say that this happens because of the repetitive handshake between the device and the router. That is, the device tries to connect to the network again and again, and during this time the connecting indication keeps on appearing on the screen.
Very few people know these interesting things
Cache and store data: Sometimes the device remembers the old password. Even if the password is changed, the device continues to show ‘Connecting…’.
Signal Strength: If the signal is weak, the device tries to connect to the network repeatedly.
Network listings: Many Wi-Fi routers show networks with similar SSID names. Trying to connect to the wrong network can also cause the ‘Connecting…’ message.
way to avoid problem
Double check the password: Entering the correct password is the first and most important step.
Forget the network and reconnect: Delete the old network information from the device and reconnect again.
Restart the router: Sometimes the connecting message hangs due to minor software glitches in the router.
Strengthen the signal: Place the router in a location where the signal is strong and the device can make connectivity easily.
