What to do when the ZenFone Max M2 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your ZenFone Max M2

If the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your ZenFone Max M2 may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If the problem comes from there, the answer is quite easy. Just forget about the Wifi network in your ZenFone Max M2. To do this, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will then have the option to choose the option: Forget this network . When it’s completed, 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 possibly happen to have a problem of authentication Wifi on the ZenFone Max M2 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you want to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be extremely basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is completed, a light will most of the time start blinking. You may then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your ZenFone Max M2. If it still doesn’t function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

Occasionally the authentication problem comes from the technique you type the Wifi network password. In fact, it can be sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its ZenFone Max M2. We therefore 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 many laptop problems, the solution is from time to time extremely simple. In fact, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your ZenFone Max M2. Then try to reconnect with your ZenFone Max M2.

Check box settings

If non-e of the previous solutions did function, the problem might 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 perhaps the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If this is not the case, choose this option. Then try to connect your ZenFone Max M2 again to Wifi. If the authentication problem carries on, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
