So, so that youre able to connect properly to the Wifi network with your LG Xcam, we decided to write this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to solve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at first what you must do on the LG Xcam. Finally, we will see what it can be required to do and check on your Wifi box.
What to do when the LG Xcam has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your LG Xcam
In cases where the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your LG Xcam may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . In cases where the issue comes from there, the solution is straightforward. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your LG Xcam. 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 select the option: Forget this network . Once it’s done, youre able to try again to connect to the Wifi network. If the issue is not solved, go to the next section.
Press the box button
Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it may possibly happen to have a issue of authentication Wifi on the LG Xcam because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be very simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. Youre able to then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your LG Xcam. In cases where it still will not work, go to the next trick.
Retype Password
From time to time the authentication problem originates from the method you type the Wifi network security password. In truth, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its LG Xcam. 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 from time to time very simple. In truth, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your LG Xcam. Then try to reconnect with your LG Xcam.
Check box settings
In cases where none of the prior answers did work, the problem may perhaps be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be required to go in the parameters of the box and to check 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 LG Xcam again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication issue carries on, we advise that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
