Forget the Wifi network on your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro

In cases where the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . In cases where the trouble comes from there, the solution is straightforward. Just forget about the Wifi network in your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro. 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. 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 happen to have a trouble of authentication Wifi on the HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you wish to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is very basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can actually then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro. In cases where it still will not function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

From time to time the authentication problem originates from the way you type the Wifi network security password. In fact, it is sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro. We therefore 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 several computer problems, the solution is at times very simple. In fact, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro. Then try to reconnect with your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro.

Check box settings

In cases where non-e of the prior solutions did function, the problem could possibly be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be necessary to go in the parameters of the box and to test whenever the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In cases where this is not the case, select this option. Then try to connect your HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication trouble remains, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
