Reset Network Settings for US Samsung Carriers

If your Samsung Galaxy is having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, mobile data, or Bluetooth, resetting the network settings can help. Here’s how to reset network settings for US Samsung carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile without losing personal data or files.

Step 1: Open General Management Settings

Go to Settings > General management. This section contains essential system options, including language, reset, and backup controls.

Step 2: Access Reset Options

Scroll down and tap Reset. You’ll find several options, including Reset all settings, Factory data reset, and Reset network settings.

Step 3: Choose Reset Network Settings

Select Reset network settings. A confirmation screen will explain that this process resets Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile network settings to their factory defaults, but does not delete your apps or personal data.

Step 4: Confirm and Reset

Tap Reset settings and enter your PIN or password to confirm. Your phone will restart automatically, applying the default network configurations used by your carrier.

Step 5: Reconnect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth

After the reset, reconnect manually to your Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices. You’ll need to re-enter Wi-Fi passwords and pair accessories like earbuds or smartwatches again.

Step 6: Test Carrier Connection

Check your mobile connection by making a test call or browsing the internet. If you still experience issues, toggle Airplane mode ON and OFF, or insert your SIM card again. For connectivity optimization, visit Connectivity & Network Settings.

Step 7: Keep Software Updated
