1. Position the router properly: Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is placed in a central location in your home or office. Keep it elevated and away from obstructions like walls, appliances, or large objects that can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.
2. Reduce signal interference: Keep your Redmi 8 away from other electronic devices that might cause interference, such as cordless phones, microwave ovens, or Bluetooth devices. These can disrupt the Wi-Fi signal and impact its stability.
3. Increase Wi-Fi range with a repeater/extender: Consider using a Wi-Fi repeater or extender to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network. These devices can help improve signal strength and coverage in areas where the signal is weak.
4. Update firmware: Ensure that your Wi-Fi router has the latest firmware installed. Manufacturers often release firmware updates that address performance and connectivity issues. Check the manufacturer's website or the router's administration settings for any available updates.
5. Wi-Fi channel selection: If you are experiencing interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks, try changing the Wi-Fi channel on your router. Access the router's administration settings and experiment with different channels to find the one with the least congestion.
6. Adjust Wi-Fi settings on your Redmi 8: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your Redmi 8 and tap on the network you are connected to. Check the Wi-Fi settings and ensure that the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option is enabled. You can also try disabling the "Wi-Fi optimization" option if it's causing any issues.
7. Forget and reconnect to Wi-Fi network: In the Wi-Fi settings on your Redmi 8, forget the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to and reconnect to it. This can help establish a fresh connection and resolve any temporary issues.
8. Clear network cache: Clearing the network cache on your Redmi 8 can help resolve any network-related issues. Go to Settings > Installed apps > All > Settings > Storage > Clear cache.
9. Reset network settings: If none of the above steps work, you can try resetting the network settings on your Redmi 8. Go to Settings > System apps > Reset > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth. This will remove saved Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth connections, and other network-related settings. You will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi networks and reconfigure other network settings.

Remember that some steps may vary slightly depending on the specific MIUI version running on your Redmi 8.
