So I've been having issues with connecting to wifi networks with my android phone. It sees the network and says that its saved but it doesnt connect to it, and if I press the connect button it says connecting and then goes back to just saying saved. I have tested connecting to other networks but none works even though it works just fine for other devices. Sometimes  it does actually connect to it, but it disconnects almost imediately. I have tried rebooting it and then it stayed connected for a couple of minutes before it disconnected again. I have tested being right next to the router so I dont think that i'm too far away from it. Please help.

In network settings, if it's a newer version of android you can reset your wifi/network settings with the reset network settings button. Also check for system updates.

It's Android 5.0.... so I can't unfortunately do that, but I've checked all WiFi settings and nothing seems to be wrong. There are also no software updates since it's so old..

Factory reset. Seems extreme but there's clearly a bug in there somewhere, and if 5.0 doesn't have a network reset then that might be your only option.
