Wifi login required. When connected to an open Wi-Fi, the Internet does not work, or why it is not possible to connect to a free (unsecured) Wi-Fi network. Android wifi authentication error: what to do

What is wifi authentication on a phone or tablet, most mobile device users know "firsthand" - after all, users are faced with connecting to a wireless network almost every day. However, why go through this "procedure", and for what reasons the problem of wi-fi authentication arises, not all owners of modern tablet computers understand.

So wifi authentication: what is it?

Authentication is a security check when a device is connected to Wi-Fi over a secure connection. During the authentication process, the device communicates the secret code entered by the user to the Wi-Fi equipment.

With the correct password, Wi-Fi router connects the device to the network, otherwise, the connection is dropped. Thus, Wi-Fi resources can only be used by users who are in the circle of "trusted persons" who know.

In other words, wi-fi authentication on an adroid device is a message to the router with a cipher to enter the network and its subsequent check for a match with the password specified in the router settings.

Android wifi authentication error: what to do?

The authentication process usually takes a few seconds. But sometimes, when connecting to WiFi (after entering the password), the device shows the "authentication" status for much longer - an error occurs when the wi-fi is authenticated on the phone, or the device is endlessly authorized on the network.

Typically, this problem occurs for one of the following reasons:

  1. 1. Incorrectly entered secret code to connect to WiFI

If you entered an incorrect secret code (made a typo, entered it in the wrong layout, or simply someone changed the code without your knowledge), then you will not be able to connect, and the "authentication" status will last longer than usual and end with an error message.

Solution: check if the password is entered correctly. If you are connecting to a wireless network outside the home (for example, at the workplace), ask your system administrator or colleagues for the new password.

If you are establishing a connection with, and you are sure that you entered the code correctly, then we advise: they may have been changed without your knowledge.

  1. 2. Inconsistency between the connection type in the tablet settings and the Wi-Fi equipment

Security standards are constantly improving and changing, due to which modern Wi-Fi equipment can operate in various modes that are incompatible with each other. And often, an error in authenticating wi-fi on a tablet occurs due to a mismatch between the settings of the android device and the network equipment.

For example, if the Wi-Fi router is set to, and on the tablet, the access point type is set to WEP.

In this case, the tablet will see the network, but will not be able to pass the authentication process.

Solution: remove the access point from the list. Search for available Wi-Fi networks and try. If you have access to the router's settings, you can also check the security settings and change them.

  1. 3. Long distance between router and tablet

Also, authentication issue when connecting to wifi may come from. In this case, you need to reduce the distance between the Wi-Fi equipment and the tablet.

Government Resolutions No. 758 and No. 801, as well as Federal Law No. 97 oblige the organizers of Internet access to authorize users of their Wi-Fi network by phone number. This is necessary to prevent fraudsters and intruders from anonymous access to the network. Therefore, in cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs and other public institutions with free Wi – Fi for guests must be authorized.

What is Wi-Fi authorization

When connected to Wi – Fi, users are directed to the authorization page, where they need to enter their phone number. The system remembers the link "device mac-address - phone number" and releases the device to the Internet. Any device: phone, laptop, tablet or computer has its own unique mac-address. Several devices can be linked to one phone number. Each of them will have access to the Internet after authorization. Thus, the user and his devices are identified, and data about them is stored in our system for 12 months in accordance with the law.

How Wi-Fi identification works

Now every cafe, as well as a large shopping center have a wi-fi network. But, in last years keeping open wireless access networks is prohibited by two laws at once. Therefore, all owners of such establishments are interested in Wi-Fi with authorization. This will allow both to attract clients and not to disrupt the relationship with law enforcement officers.

What is Wi-Fi with authorization

This is a closed wireless network. It is accessed by a password or one-time code generated by the system. Such a system can be applied in the following cases:

  • Public places;
  • Corporate wireless networks;
  • Home network.

The reasons for applying this solution vary. But, the problem is solved by the same measures.

How is authorization done

There are several different ways user identification. The simplest option is used at home and when organizing a local wireless network of an organization. Set a password that only family members or employees know.

Using a password is not suitable for public places... Here, authorization by entering a password is not possible. There are several methods for granting access to visitors:

  • One-time code.
  • The use of each of these methods has its own characteristics.

SMS authorization is the most convenient way. In this case, the staff of the establishment has nothing to do with the work of wi-fi. When a user tries to connect, he sees a page offering to receive an SMS with a code to his number. The disadvantage of this service is its cost. Depending on the operator, the price can range from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles per month.

Another option for organizing HotSpot is to connect special equipment that generates a unique code. This method is often referred to as passport access. Usually minors are denied access. There is no monthly fee for this service. But, you have to buy additional equipment. Additional workload is created on staff.

Device

It is not difficult to organize HotSpot. First, we decide on the provider. Based on his requirements, we purchase equipment. Some operators offer everything you need for rent. It makes sense to think about this option. Also, be sure to decide how users will be authorized. If you do not pay attention to this issue, you can get a significant fine.

Everyone who uses services on the Internet is aware of the situation when, in order to access the services of the site, we are required to go through the registration or authorization procedures. Typical examples are websites of banks and payment systems. WiFi user authorization is associated with the prohibition of anonymous access to the network through public access points. New order The use of Wi-Fi networks is set out in the decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 758 of 07/31/2014 and No. 801 of 08/12/2014.

Legal requirements for WiFi networks

In case of non-compliance with the legal norms on the work of Wi-Fi, the network operator is threatened with sanctions, up to and including revocation of the license for the right to provide these services. In addition to prohibiting anonymous access to the network, the main requirements for public Wi-Fi include the collection and storage of user information for six months.

Access to the public Internet opens the identification and authorization of Wi-Fi users, which are essentially identical procedures. They confirm the identity of customers and guests of establishments. The difference between the two is that authentication is performed the first time you log into the network, and authorization is required in subsequent cases.

Our proposals for organizing Wi-Fi networks

Setting up a wireless Internet access network from scratch consists of the following steps:

  • - determination of the network architecture with the number and location of access points, coverage and other parameters;
  • - selection and installation of equipment according to the developed plan, including equipment for storing data about network users;
  • - providing software to control the operation of the system, including the implementation of identification and authorization procedures.

If necessary, we will provide services for organizing Wi-Fi access on already operating networks.

  • - the client chooses in the settings of his mobile device the desired Wi-Fi network, thereby making a request to enter it;
  • - then the user enters the username and password into the electronic form received at the first entry into this network;
  • - after submitting the form, an SMS will be sent to your number confirming the right to access the network.
