so as the title says, my android ( galaxy samsung ace 3) cannot connect to my router unless its like 1-5 CM close else, it'll pop up with the common error "Authentication Error" , note that my mobile has fell in water and I just fixed it but now I got 2 problems when I fixed it:

1. When I connect my phone to my laptop or Pc via cable , it doesn't appear connected like I didn't connect it to my lap( don't have to be fixed, I'm okay with it unless you have a solution)

2. My main problem which is I can't connect to my router (wifi) unless I'm 1-5 CM near it, just a bit further and it will be connected but without working ( can't open any chrome page or send messages via whatsapp...etc) and If I reconnect it gives me "Authentication error"

Sorry for the long story but my "2nd" Problem Is urgent and need it fixed!
