But when the WiFi signal is strong and the LG V20 WiFi can’t stay connected, then there are several ways that you can fix this problem. The reason that the LG V20 WiFi doesn’t stay connected is because of the WLAN to mobile data connection option that is activated in the Android settings of the LG V20.
The name of this settings is called “Smart network switch” and was designed on the LG V20 in order to automatically switch between Wi-Fi and mobile networks, such as LTE, to build up a stable network connection all the time.
