Retype Password
Sometimes the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. Certainly, it is sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Google Pixel 4. We therefore advise you to try all the following possibilities:

Restart your box

Check box settings
If non-e of the prior answers did work, the problem may be found to be on the box of your provider. It will therefore be required to go in the parameters of the box and to check whenever the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If this is not the case, select this option. Then try to connect your Google Pixel 4 again to Wifi. If the authentication issue carries on, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
