I'm having some issues with the WiFi on my Samsung Galaxy Fold 4. It won't recognize any networks, and there are times when I can't even turn the WiFi on. From what I've heard, this seems to be a common problem related to the phone's hinge affecting the hardware. I'm trying to hold out until I can get a new phone in a few months, but relying solely on my cellular data is really frustrating because of the poor connection and battery drain. Is there a USB-C WiFi adapter that I can use to connect to my home WiFi? If so, which one would be compatible? I've seen plenty of options meant for computers or Android Auto, but I'm not sure which ones would work for my phone.

Consider getting insurance for your phone. You could wait a month and then file a claim to get a new phone for a small fee. That might save you the hassle in the meantime!
Unfortunately, there aren't any drivers available that would support a WiFi adapter directly on your phone. So that's a no-go for the USB-C option. You might need to explore alternative solutions until you get a new phone.
Have you thought about doing a factory reset on your phone? Sometimes that can resolve these kinds of issues and get your WiFi working again.
There is a WiFi adapter that might work for you, but typically it's bundled with a new phone. It's not the most straightforward option.
You could look into a cellular booster! There are products on Amazon that can help amplify a weak signal, or some cellular providers offer systems that create a mini tower using your home internet.
