LG: Wifi Authentication Problem

From time to time, the LG displays the Authentication Problem message when ever you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network. This kind of error message can possibly result from several places. So, so that you can connect properly to the Wifi network with your LG, we decided to write this guide. So we will see together what to do and where to look to resolve this issue of Wifi authentication. We will see at 1st what you need to do on the LG. At last, we will see what it is actually required to do and check on your Wifi box.

How to proceed when the LG has an authentication problem on the Wifi network

Forget the Wifi network on your LG

In the event that the Wi-Fi network to which you wish to connect has been changed since your last authentication, your LG may display the message: Authentication or authentication error . In the event that the issue comes from there, the answer is quite simple. Just forget about the Wifi network in your LG. To achieve this, go to the settings of the Wifi network and keep pressed on the network in question. You will after that have the option to select the option: Forget this network . When it’s done, you can try again to connect to the Wifi network. If perhaps 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 LG because the box is not in Synchronization mode . If you wish to activate the synchronization mode of your box, it is actually very basic. You should find a synchronization button to press. When ever this is done, a light will most of the time start blinking. You can actually after that try to reconnect to the Wifi network with your LG. In the event that it still will not function, go to the next trick.

Retype Security password

From time to time the authentication problem originates from the way you type the Wifi network password. Certainly, it is actually sometimes subtle to type a password Wifi on its LG. 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 laptop problems, the solution is sometimes very simple. Certainly, 80% of the laptop problems are solved by restarting the machine. We therefore advise you to restart your box and your LG. After that try to reconnect with your LG.

Check box settings

In the event that none of the prior solutions did function, the problem might 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 in the event that the system of key is in WPA / WPA2 . In the event that this is not the case, select this option. After that try to connect your LG again to Wifi. In the event that the authentication issue persists, we recommend that you contact your service provider or a telephone retail store.
