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 XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be very basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will normally start blinking. You’re able to after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite. If it still doesn’t function, go to the next trick.
Retype Security password
From time to time the authentication problem originates from the solution you type the Wifi network security password. In fact, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite. 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 many computer problems, the solution is oftentimes very simple. In fact, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite. Then try to reconnect with your XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite.
Check box settings
If non-e of the previous answers did function, the problem may perhaps be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be important to go in the parameters of the box and to test if the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If this is not the case, choose this option. Then try to connect your XIAOMI Mi 8 Lite again to Wifi. If the authentication issue remains, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
