Samsung Galaxy S8+: Wifi Authentication Problem

Sometimes, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially come from many places. So, so that you’re able to connect properly to the Wifi network with your Samsung Galaxy S8+, we decided to produce this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to resolve this issue of Wifi authentication. We will see at first of all what you have to do on the Samsung Galaxy S8+. Finally, we will see what it can be required to do and check on your Wifi box.

What to do when the Samsung Galaxy S8+ has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Samsung Galaxy S8+

If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Samsung Galaxy S8+ may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the problem comes from there, the answer is quite simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Samsung Galaxy S8+. To get this done, 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’s done, you’re able to try again to connect to the Wifi network. If the problem is not fixed, 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 problem of authentication Wifi on the Samsung Galaxy S8+ because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be incredibly simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You may after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Samsung Galaxy S8+. If perhaps it still doesn’t function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

Sometimes the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. In truth, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Samsung Galaxy S8+. We for that reason 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 a great many laptop problems, the solution is sometimes incredibly simple. In truth, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Samsung Galaxy S8+. Then try to reconnect with your Samsung Galaxy S8+.

Check box settings

If perhaps non-e of the prior solutions did function, 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 test if the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the case, select this option. Then try to connect your Samsung Galaxy S8+ again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication problem carries on, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
