The quality of the Internet in a public place is also affected by the number of devices connected to it. It is worth noting that a router in a public place has limitations on the number of connected gadgets. If the limit is reached, the user will not be able to connect. Under such conditions, access to the Internet is possible only when using 4G.
Hardware malfunction
Of all the problems associated with the phone’s hardware, due to which the phone does not see the network, you can fix only one on your own. After a fall or unsuccessful opening of the phone, the coaxial cable that transmits the cellular network signal may be damaged. It will require replacement to solve the problem.

In some phone models, the GSM antenna is located on the back cover. The signal is transmitted to it through special contacts on the system board.
Check their integrity. It happens that the contact does not reach the antenna, in which case it must be carefully bent for better contact.
Incorrect access point settings
Why doesn't the Internet work on my Huawei phone? One common reason is that access points are installed incorrectly. You'll have to configure it yourself. Please note that the parameters depend on the specific operator. Instructions:
- Go to settings.
- Find the “Mobile Network” section, which is located in “Wireless Networks” or in the “More” tab.
- Click on "Access Points (APN)".
- Enter the required parameters - APN, Username and Password.
Access point settings:
When you specify the necessary parameters, reboot the gadget, or turn on and off the offline “In Flight” mode.
Data transfer disabled
The next problem is hidden in disabled data transmission. This item can be quickly activated in the same way as disabling the “In Flight” mode. Pull out the menu at the top and click on the corresponding icon.
If the connection is successful, one of the icons will appear next to the antennas:
- G – weak signal, providing a speed of no more than 170 Kbps.
- E – connection speed is up to 470 Kbps.
- 3G – maximum 3.6 Mbit/s.
- N – 8 Mbit/s.
- H – 42 Mbit/s.
- 4G – up to 100 Mbit/s.
Doesn't catch well
Despite the extensive coverage map of many operators, there are areas throughout the country where the phone cannot receive the network. Pay attention to the antenna, which is shown in the top status bar next to the charge indicator. If there are no bars, it means the device cannot connect to the network, and the type of current connection is also indicated there.
Are you in the coverage area, but online is not working well, although there is a connection and your smartphone shows few antennas? Try rebooting your gadget. If there is no result, try changing your location; perhaps there is interference in this area or you are too far from the nearest tower.

Problem and methods for solving it
So, let's consider the following situation (since this is exactly what a number of owners of Huawei or Honor smartphones have encountered):
- There is a Huawei or Honor mobile phone on which the global update EMUI 9.1 is installed.
- After the update, some owners note that the Internet speed has dropped and the connection itself has become worse. For example, in places where everything was fine before, now everything is not so rosy. The mobile phone has poor network reception.
Naturally, the question arises - what to do? Since access to the Internet is one of the main functions of a modern mobile device.
Manual IP address setting
When connected to a Wi-Fi network, there is no access to the Internet. Below is how you can resolve this issue. The network router is a DHCP server. This is a device that can distribute IP addresses on a local network. IP addresses are needed to route sent files.
That is, so as not to confuse who and where to send various pictures, video audio files, etc. There are times when the router does not find the IP address. This may happen due to the DCHP client not working correctly, i.e. mobile device (the address setting does not match the transmitter settings). Use the instructions below:
- You need to enter the “Wi-Fi” menu and find your connected gadget.
- Click on the line where the network is registered. A window should appear like the image below.
- Next, select “Change network”.
- Then “IP settings”.
- Select the “Statistical” section.
- Next you need to register the IP address of the required gadget. To do this, when writing the address, the last digit will be replaced with any number except 1 and 255. The registered gateway remains unchanged.
- When you scroll below, two lines will appear where the DNS address is entered.
- Next, the following data is required: 8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
- The next step is to click “Save”.
After all the manipulations done, the Internet should work. If not, then you need to check your router settings. Instructions for the router you are using can be found on various Internet services.

Recommendations
Before moving on to specific solutions, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of influence on the speed of work from those sites that a person visits. It is quite possible that this is the reason. Therefore, initially try visiting some other web resource and evaluate the result. If it is similar, proceed to further instructions:
- Close currently unnecessary applications that may be present in the so-called background mode. You can “get rid” of most of them if you simply reboot your mobile phone;
- Activate, with a finger down the screen, the status bar to advanced mode - to the notification panel. Pay attention - is the smartphone connected to the 2g/3g network at all? If the corresponding icon is not highlighted, then you should turn it on;
- For a while, interact with your finger on the “Mobile data transfer” icon to open the profile settings. If possible, activate 4G. In this mode, data transfer is much faster;
- Without leaving the settings, go to the section called “Access Points (APN)”. In it, use the “Reset settings” tool.
It is also worth assessing, if possible, the quality of the network from different mobile operators. It is possible that the reason lies in the unsatisfactory provision of services from one of the companies. Or simply the place where the check is carried out is too far from the tower.
Another important point is that not all people know that a VPN connection is slower than the classic version. Therefore, it’s worth going back to the status bar and looking at it carefully. If an icon appears in this place that looks like a key, then you should do the following:
- Go to the standard settings of your mobile phone;
- In the list, find a section called VPN;
- Deactivate this functionality.
Here are some other tips worth listening to:
- It may be useful to contact the operator that provides communication services. There is a possibility that the tariff being used has some restrictions that are activated when a certain limit is reached. If this is the case, then you should think about changing the operator company;
- One of the possible reasons that can make the signal worse is various protective equipment made of metal - covers. If the situation improves when you remove it, then you should think about replacing it with a plastic analogue;
- It is also recommended to visit the “Reset Network Settings” section. In it you need to initiate a reset of telephone settings, which are precisely connected to the network. The consequence of this procedure is the need to restore information about Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices. Because it will be completely lost.
