WIFI gets disconnected automatically and saved connections also dont gets connected even if we switch off and on the WIFI connections.

Even though phone is in the range it does not detect the connection until we refresh connection.
Once refresh it, it connects the nearest connection.
  • Set Never turn off WIFI in advanced settings.
  • Also removed all battery optimisation apps.

Nothing worked, can anyone help me in the same?
 
If this is a Samsung, you've become another victim of the 'auto network switch' which Samsung thinks is a feature, and it disables any wifi that it assumes is 'unstable' (Lollipop aka Android 5.0 does a similar thing, lord knows what algorithm it uses since apparently my Home Fusion 4G LTE is too unstable for it!) and it won't reconnect to it until you manually reset it and tell it to reconnect.

at least on Samsung you can disable it by going into wifi settings and unchecking 'auto network switch'. on Nexus or other stock Android devices running Android 4.4 or below, you can also uncheck 'avoid poor connections' and it won't happen.
