samsung galaxy s2

[leofreshness]

ok i bought a used pretty much new Samsung galaxy s2 unlocked for t mobile. now i don't have the phone activated or a sim card. but i can still turn it on. i have my own wifi at home. now when i type in the password for wifi and clicked connect is says Authenticating then it fails and keeps doing that. why cant i use wifi. and should i rest the phone

Welcome leofreshness, glad to have you aboard

You might want to restart your router and see if that works, if not try rebooting the phone by taking out the battery and putting it back in, otherwise your last resort might be factory resetting the device.

You might just have a bad phone then, and might need to return it and get another, it happens sometimes, but it might be your only option

Sorry.
