Sometimes, the Google Nexus 4 displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially originate from several places. So, so that you may connect properly to the Wifi network with your Google Nexus 4, we decided to write this tuto. So we will observe together what to do and where to look to resolve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at first of all what you must do on the Google Nexus 4. Finally, we will see what it is necessary to do and check on your Wifi box.
How to proceed when the Google Nexus 4 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Google Nexus 4
In cases where the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Google Nexus 4 may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . In cases where the problem comes from there, the answer is quite simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Google Nexus 4. To accomplish this, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will then have the option to choose the option: Forget this network . Once it is done, you may try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps the problem is not solved, go to the next section.
Press the box button
Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it may happen to have a problem of authentication Wifi on the Google Nexus 4 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you would like to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is 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 Nexus 4. In cases where it still doesn’t work, go to the next trick.
Retype Security password
Sometimes the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network password. Certainly, it is sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Google Nexus 4. We for that reason 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 occasionally extremely simple. Certainly, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Google Nexus 4. Then try to reconnect with your Google Nexus 4.
Check box settings
In cases where none of the previous solutions did work, the problem could possibly be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be necessary to go in the parameters of the box and to test in cases where the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In cases where this is not the case, choose this option. Then try to connect your Google Nexus 4 again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication problem carries on, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
