Occasionally, the Caterpillar CAT B100 displays the Authentication Problem message when you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially be caused by a lot of places. So, so that you can connect properly to the Wifi network with your Caterpillar CAT B100, we decided to write this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to resolve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at 1st what you have to do on the Caterpillar CAT B100. At last, we will see what it can be required to do and check on your Wifi box.
How to proceed when the Caterpillar CAT B100 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Caterpillar CAT B100
If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Caterpillar CAT B100 may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the trouble comes from there, the solution is fairly simple. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Caterpillar CAT B100. To achieve this, 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 done, you can try again to connect to the Wifi network. If the trouble is not resolved, go to the next section.
Press the box button
Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it may possibly happen to have a trouble of authentication Wifi on the Caterpillar CAT B100 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be extremely basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Caterpillar CAT B100. If perhaps it still doesn’t work, go to the next trick.
Retype Password
Occasionally the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. In truth, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Caterpillar CAT B100. We for that reason advise you to try all the following possibilities:
- Type the code without spaces or hyphens
- Type the security password in uppercase
- Type the security password in lowercase
Restart your box
As in lots of computer problems, the solution is at times extremely simple. In truth, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Caterpillar CAT B100. After that try to reconnect with your Caterpillar CAT B100.
Check box settings
If perhaps none of the prior solutions did work, the problem may be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be required to go in the parameters of the box and to check in the event that the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the case, select this option. After that try to connect your Caterpillar CAT B100 again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication trouble carries on, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
