How to proceed when the Wiko Wax has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Wiko Wax

In the event that the Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Wiko Wax may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . In the event that the trouble comes from there, the answer is very simple. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Wiko Wax. 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 choose the option: Forget this network . When it’s completed, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If the trouble is not fixed, 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 trouble of authentication Wifi on the Wiko Wax because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you would like to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it’s extremely simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is completed, a light will normally start blinking. You may after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Wiko Wax. In the event that it still doesn’t work, go to the next trick.

Retype Password

Occasionally the authentication problem comes from the technique you type the Wifi network password. Certainly, it’s sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Wiko Wax. We for that reason advise you to try all the following possibilities:

  • Type the code without spaces or hyphens
  • Type the password in uppercase
  • Type the password in lowercase

Restart your box

As in a great many laptop problems, the solution is sometimes extremely simple. Certainly, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Wiko Wax. After that try to reconnect with your Wiko Wax.

Check box settings

In the event that non-e of the previous solutions did work, the problem could be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be important to go in the parameters of the box and to check in cases where the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In the event that this is not the case, choose this option. After that try to connect your Wiko Wax again to Wifi. In the event that the authentication trouble carries on, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
