So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your Archos 50, we decided to produce this guide. So we will observe together what to do and where to look to resolve this issue of Wifi authentication. We will see at 1st what you have to do on the Archos 50. At last, we will see what it is actually important to do and check on your Wifi box.

How to proceed when the Archos 50 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Archos 50

If the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Archos 50 may display the text message: Authentication or authentication error . If the trouble comes from there, the answer is quite easy. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Archos 50. To get this done, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will after that have the option to select the option: Forget this network . When it is carried out, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If the trouble is not solved, go to the next step.

Press the box button

Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it might happen to have a trouble of authentication Wifi on the Archos 50 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is actually very simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is carried out, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can actually after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Archos 50. If it still doesn’t function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

Occasionally the authentication problem comes from the way you type the Wifi network password. Indeed, it is actually sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Archos 50. We therefore advise you to try all the following possibilities:

  • Type the code without spaces or hyphens
  • Type the password in uppercase
  • Type the password in lowercase

Restart your box

As in many laptop problems, the solution is sometimes very simple. Indeed, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Archos 50. After that try to reconnect with your Archos 50.

Check box settings

If none of the prior solutions did function, the problem might be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be important to go in the parameters of the box and to check in the event that the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If this is not the case, select this option. After that try to connect your Archos 50 again to Wifi. If the authentication trouble persists, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
