What to do when the Google Nexus 6 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Google Nexus 6

Once it is completed, youre able to try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps the problem is not fixed, go to the next step.
Press the box button
Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it may possibly happen to have a problem of authentication Wifi on the Google Nexus 6 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 completed, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Google Nexus 6. In cases where it still doesn’t work, go to the next trick.
Retype Password
From time to time the authentication problem comes from the way you type the Wifi network password. Indeed, it is sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Google Nexus 6. 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 several computer problems, the solution is oftentimes extremely simple. Indeed, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Google Nexus 6. After that try to reconnect with your Google Nexus 6.
Check box settings
In cases where none of the previous solutions did work, the problem might 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 if perhaps the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In cases where this is not the case, select this option. After that try to connect your Google Nexus 6 again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication problem carries on, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
