If you do not see this option

• Your Galaxy runs an older One UI. Before One UI 8.5 there was one entry for all networks: Settings, General management, Reset, Reset network settings.
• The reset you need has another name Samsung notes that screens and settings vary by carrier, software version and model. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth reset is for those connections; the mobile network reset is for calls and messaging. Source: How to reset your Samsung Galaxy with 5 different methods

If this does not work

• No mobile signal after the mobile reset Samsung says you may need to contact your mobile provider to connect to the mobile network again. Source: How to reset your Samsung Galaxy with 5 different methods
• The problem is still there Samsung suggests Reset all settings next: it puts every setting back to its default but keeps apps and personal data, passwords included. A factory data reset erases everything, so back up first. Source: How to reset your Samsung Galaxy with 5 different methods

About this guide

A network reset is the step to try when Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or mobile data keeps failing after a restart. It does not wipe the phone, but it does forget saved networks and paired devices, so have your Wi-Fi password ready.

Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8.5 should use the same menus; on older One UI versions names and positions can differ.

Good to know

Older Samsung pages mention a single Reset network settings option. On One UI 8.5 it is split into the two options above.

After Reset mobile network settings, your carrier may need to send settings again; contact them if mobile data still fails.

In short: Settings, General management, Reset, then Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings or Reset mobile network settings, Reset settings, confirm.
