So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your Honor 8S, we decided to write this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to resolve this issue of Wifi authentication. We will see at first of all what you have to do on the Honor 8S. At last, we will see what it can be necessary to do and check on your Wifi box.

What to do when the Honor 8S has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your Honor 8S

In the event that the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your Honor 8S may display the text: Authentication or authentication error . In the event that the trouble comes from there, the answer is quite easy. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your Honor 8S. To achieve this, 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’s carried out, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps the trouble is not solved, 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 trouble of authentication Wifi on the Honor 8S because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you need to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it can be extremely basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is carried out, a light will normally start blinking. You may then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your Honor 8S. In the event that it still does not function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

At times the authentication problem comes from the method you type the Wifi network password. Indeed, it can be sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its Honor 8S. 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 many laptop problems, the solution is from time to time extremely simple. Indeed, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your Honor 8S. Then try to reconnect with your Honor 8S.

Check box settings

In the event that none of the previous answers did function, the problem might be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be necessary to go in the parameters of the box and to check if the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In the event that this is not the circumstance, select this option. Then try to connect your Honor 8S again to Wifi. In the event that the authentication trouble persists, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
