How to proceed when the Alcatel A3 XL has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Alcatel A3 XL

If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Alcatel A3 XL may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the trouble comes from there, the answer is quite easy. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Alcatel A3 XL. To get this done, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will then have the option to select the option: Forget this network . Once it’s completed, you may try again to connect to the Wifi network. In the event that the trouble is not fixed, go to the next step.

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 Alcatel A3 XL because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you would like to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is very basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is completed, a light will most of the time start blinking. You may then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Alcatel A3 XL. If perhaps it still does not 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. In truth, it is sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Alcatel A3 XL. 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 several pc problems, the solution is at times very simple. In truth, 80% of the pc problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Alcatel A3 XL. Then try to reconnect with your Alcatel A3 XL.

Check box settings

If perhaps non-e of the previous 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 test whenever the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the case, select this option. Then try to connect your Alcatel A3 XL again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication trouble carries on, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
