So, so that you can connect properly to the Wifi network with your LG Optimus L5, we decided to write this guide. So we will see 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 LG Optimus L5. At last, we will see what it is actually important to do and check on your Wifi box.

What to do when the LG Optimus L5 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your LG Optimus L5

If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your LG Optimus L5 may display the text message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the problem comes from there, the answer is straightforward. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your LG Optimus L5. To get this done, 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 is carried out, you can try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps the problem is not resolved, 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 LG Optimus L5 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you wish to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is actually extremely simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is carried out, a light will normally start blinking. You may then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your LG Optimus L5. If perhaps it still does not work, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

Oftentimes the authentication problem comes from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. Indeed, it is actually sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its LG Optimus L5. 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 many computer problems, the solution is occasionally extremely simple. Indeed, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your LG Optimus L5. After that try to reconnect with your LG Optimus L5.

Check box settings

If perhaps non-e of the previous answers did work, the problem may perhaps be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be important 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. After that try to connect your LG Optimus L5 again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication problem carries on, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
