Android Connected to Wi-Fi but Not Working

Short answer: Wi-Fi bars but no internet usually means the router or network, not your phone.

TL;DR: quick fix

Turn Wi-Fi off and on.
Forget the network, then reconnect with the password.
Restart your router and phone.

Is Android down?

Android has no public status page. If friends on other networks see the same problem, it's probably an outage: wait and retry.

How to fix it: step by step

Turn Wi-Fi off and on.
Forget the network, then reconnect with the password.
Restart your router and phone.
Test mobile data to confirm the phone is OK.
Contact your ISP if all devices fail.
