What to do when the Google Pixel 3a has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Google Pixel 3a
If the Wi-Fi network to which you want to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Google Pixel 3a may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If the issue comes from there, the answer is fairly simple. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Google Pixel 3a. 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 . When it is done, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. In the event that the issue is not solved, 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 issue of authentication Wifi on the Google Pixel 3a because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be incredibly basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is done, a light will normally start blinking. You’re able to then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Google Pixel 3a. If it still does not function, go to the next trick.
Retype Password
Oftentimes the authentication problem comes from the method you type the Wifi network security password. Indeed, it can be sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Google Pixel 3a. 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 pc problems, the solution is occasionally incredibly simple. Indeed, 80% of the pc problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Google Pixel 3a. Then try to reconnect with your Google Pixel 3a.
Check box settings
If none of the previous answers did function, the problem could 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 check in cases where the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If this is not the circumstance, select this option. Then try to connect your Google Pixel 3a again to Wifi. If the authentication issue remains, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
