Occasionally, the Google Pixel 4a displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can possibly come from several places. So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your Google Pixel 4a, we decided to produce this tuto. So we will see together what to do and where to look to resolve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at first of all what you have to do on the Google Pixel 4a. Finally, we will see what it is important to do and check on your Wifi box.
How to proceed when the Google Pixel 4a has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Google Pixel 4a
If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Google Pixel 4a may display the text message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the problem comes from there, the solution is quite easy. Just forget about the Wifi network in your Google Pixel 4a. To get this done, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will after that have the option to choose the option: Forget this network . When it is completed, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps 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 might happen to have a problem of authentication Wifi on the Google Pixel 4a because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is very simple. You should find a synchronization button to press. When this is completed, a light will most of the time start blinking. You’re able to after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Google Pixel 4a. If perhaps it still will not work, go to the next trick.
Retype Security password
Occasionally the authentication problem comes from the technique you type the Wifi network security password. In truth, it is sometimes subtle to type a security password Wifi on its Google Pixel 4a. 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 lots of computer problems, the solution is oftentimes very simple. In truth, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Google Pixel 4a. After that try to reconnect with your Google Pixel 4a.
Check box settings
If perhaps none of the prior answers did work, 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 perhaps the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the case, choose this option. After that try to connect your Google Pixel 4a again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication problem continues, we suggest that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
