**Resetting the** [**network**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50503/how-to-disconnect-from-wi-fi-networks-on-your-iphone-x-using-control-center) on your phone can solve network-related issues that were not resolved by the initial processes. This reset wipes out all of your current network settings, including saved WiFi and Bluetooth connections, APNs and server settings, and other pertinent data. Any **errors caused by erroneous or invalid network configurations** will be avoided as well. If you want to give it a shot, simply follow these steps:

\

1. From your Home screen, **go to Settings.**
2. **Select the General option.**
3. **Reset** is located at the bottom of the page.
4. **Choose Reset network settings** from the drop-down menu.
5. When prompted, enter your device passcode to proceed.
6. Then, to **confirm the network settings reset**, press the option.

Wait for the phone to complete the reset before restarting it. When it starts up,, go **back to Settings-> WiFi menu** and then retry to [connect](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/40515/how-to-connect-brother-hl-2270dw-printer-to-wi-fi) to your WiFi network. I hope this answer helps you \
