HUAWEI P40: Wifi Authentication Problem

From time to time, the HUAWEI P40 displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can potentially come from several places. So, so that you can actually connect properly to the Wifi network with your HUAWEI P40, we decided to write this tuto. So we will find out together what to do and where to look to resolve this problem of Wifi authentication. We will see at 1st what you need to do on the HUAWEI P40. Finally, we will see what it truly is important to do and check on your Wifi box.

What to do when the HUAWEI P40 has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your HUAWEI P40

If perhaps the Wi-Fi network to which you desire to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your HUAWEI P40 may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . If perhaps the trouble comes from there, the solution is quite simple. Simply forget about the Wifi network in your HUAWEI P40. To accomplish 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 is done, you can actually try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps the trouble is not resolved, go to the next section.

Press the box button

Whether your box is Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR or Numéricable, it may happen to have a trouble of authentication Wifi on the HUAWEI P40 because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you want to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it truly is incredibly basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You may then try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your HUAWEI P40. If perhaps it still does not function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

From time to time the authentication problem originates from the solution you type the Wifi network password. In truth, it truly is sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its HUAWEI P40. 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 lots of pc problems, the solution is occasionally incredibly simple. In truth, 80% of the pc problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore recommend you to restart your box and your HUAWEI P40. Then try to reconnect with your HUAWEI P40.

Check box settings

If perhaps non-e of the previous solutions did function, the problem may be found to be on the box of your provider. It will for that reason be important to go in the parameters of the box and to test if the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . If perhaps this is not the circumstance, select this option. Then try to connect your HUAWEI P40 again to Wifi. If perhaps the authentication trouble continues, we highly recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone store.
