Google Galaxy Nexus: Wifi Authentication Problem

Occasionally, the Google Galaxy Nexus displays the Authentication Problem message when you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This sort of error message can possibly be caused by a lot of places. So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your Google Galaxy Nexus, we decided to write 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 Google Galaxy Nexus. At last, we will see what it’s required to do and check on your Wifi box.

How to proceed when the Google Galaxy Nexus has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Google Galaxy Nexus

If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Google Galaxy Nexus may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the trouble comes from there, the answer is fairly simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Google Galaxy Nexus. To achieve this, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will then have the option to select the option: Forget this network . Once it’s done, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. In the event that the trouble is not fixed, go to the next section.

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 Google Galaxy Nexus because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you want to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it’s extremely simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Google Galaxy Nexus. If perhaps it still will not function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

Occasionally the authentication problem originates from the way you type the Wifi network security password. Indeed, it’s sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Google Galaxy Nexus. 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 many computer problems, the solution is sometimes extremely simple. Indeed, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Google Galaxy Nexus. Then try to reconnect with your Google Galaxy Nexus.

Check box settings

If perhaps non-e of the prior solutions did function, the problem could 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 test in cases where the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the circumstance, select this option. Then try to connect your Google Galaxy Nexus again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication trouble remains, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
