Occasionally, the Google Pixel 6a displays the Authentication Problem message when you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially come from a lot of places. So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your Google Pixel 6a, we decided to produce this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to solve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at first of all what you need to do on the Google Pixel 6a. Finally, we will see what it can be required to do and check on your Wifi box.
How to proceed when the Google Pixel 6a has an authentication problem on the Wifi network
Forget the Wifi network on your Google Pixel 6a
If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Google Pixel 6a may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the issue comes from there, the answer is very simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Google Pixel 6a. 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 . Once it’s done, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If 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 may happen to have a issue of authentication Wifi on the Google Pixel 6a 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 this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Google Pixel 6a. If perhaps it still does not work, go to the next trick.
Retype Password
Occasionally the authentication problem originates from the technique you type the Wifi network password. Certainly, it can be sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Google Pixel 6a. We for that reason 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 several computer problems, the solution is at times extremely simple. Certainly, 80% of the computer problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your Google Pixel 6a. After that try to reconnect with your Google Pixel 6a.
Check box settings
If perhaps none of the prior solutions did work, the problem could be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be required 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, choose this option. After that try to connect your Google Pixel 6a again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication issue continues, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
