There could be several reasons why your Xiaomi 12 Lite's Wi-Fi connection is dropping and weak. Here are some potential causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Distance from the router: If your device is far away from the Wi-Fi router, the signal strength may weaken, leading to a drop in the connection. Try moving closer to the router and see if the connection improves.
2. Obstacles or interference: Walls, furniture, and other physical objects can obstruct the Wi-Fi signal. Ensure that there are no large obstacles between your device and the router. Additionally, other electronic devices such as cordless phones, microwave ovens, and baby monitors can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Try moving your device away from such devices or turning them off temporarily to see if it makes a difference.
3. Router issues: The problem could be with the router itself. Try restarting your router by unplugging it from the power source, waiting for a few seconds, and then plugging it back in. This can often resolve temporary glitches or conflicts.
4. Wi-Fi congestion: If there are too many devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it can lead to congestion and a weaker connection for each device. Disconnect or turn off any unnecessary devices that are using the Wi-Fi network and see if the connection improves.
5. Wi-Fi network settings: Check the Wi-Fi settings on your Xiaomi 12 Lite. Make sure that you are connecting to the correct network and that the network's signal strength is sufficient. You can also try "forgetting" the network and reconnecting to it to refresh the connection.
6. Software or firmware issues: Ensure that your Xiaomi 12 Lite is running the latest software updates. Manufacturers often release updates that address connectivity and performance issues. Check for any available system updates and install them if needed.
7. Hardware problems: In some cases, there may be an issue with the Wi-Fi hardware in your device. If the problem persists after trying the above steps, consider contacting Xiaomi support or taking your device to an authorized service center for further assistance.

It's worth noting that these troubleshooting steps are general suggestions, and the specific steps may vary slightly depending on the MIUI version or other factors related to your Xiaomi 12 Lite.
