From time to time, the Wiko WIM displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially sourced from several places. So, so that you may connect properly to the Wifi network with your Wiko WIM, we decided to produce this guide. 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 of all what you must do on the Wiko WIM. Finally, we will see what it’s necessary to do and check on your Wifi box.
How to proceed when the Wiko WIM has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Wiko WIM
In cases where the Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Wiko WIM may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . In cases where the trouble comes from there, the solution is very simple. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Wiko WIM. To achieve 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 choose the option: Forget this network . When it is completed, you may 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 might happen to have a trouble of authentication Wifi on the Wiko WIM because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you wish to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it’s extremely basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is completed, a light will most of the time start blinking. You may after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Wiko WIM. In cases where it still doesn’t 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. Indeed, it’s sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Wiko WIM. 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 a great many computer problems, the solution is at times extremely simple. Indeed, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Wiko WIM. Then try to reconnect with your Wiko WIM.
Check box settings
In cases where non-e of the prior solutions did work, the problem could possibly be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be necessary to go in the parameters of the box and to check in the event that the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In cases where this is not the case, choose this option. Then try to connect your Wiko WIM again to Wifi. In cases where the authentication trouble continues, we advise that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
