Polaroid: Wifi Authentication Problem

From time to time, the Polaroid displays the Authentication Problem message when you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This sort of error message can potentially originate from a lot of places. So, so that you’re able to connect properly to the Wifi network with your Polaroid, we decided to produce this tuto. So we will see together what to do and where to look to solve this issue of Wifi authentication. We will see at initially what you must do on the Polaroid. Finally, we will see what it can be required to do and check on your Wifi box.

What to do when the Polaroid has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Polaroid

In cases where the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Polaroid may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . In cases where the issue comes from there, the answer is quite simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Polaroid. To accomplish this, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will after that have the option to select the option: Forget this network . Once it is completed, you’re able to try again to connect to the Wifi network. In the event that the issue 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 issue of authentication Wifi on the Polaroid because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you want to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be very simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is completed, a light will normally start blinking. You’re able to after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Polaroid. In cases where it still will not work, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

From time to time the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. Indeed, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Polaroid. 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 laptop problems, the solution is sometimes very simple. Indeed, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Polaroid. Then try to reconnect with your Polaroid.

Check box settings

In cases where non-e of the previous solutions did work, the problem might 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 test in cases where the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In cases where this is not the case, select this option. Then try to connect your Polaroid again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication issue continues, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
