Help Wifi 'authenticating'

[lisa_302]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I got my HTC desire on Monday and I must say I love it. However my phone will connect to my wifi at home no problems, it automatically switches when it's in range, but after about 20-30 minutes it stops working (pages won't load etc or get an error message saying I need to be connected) and when I go into wifi in settings it says 'authenticating' instead of connected. It doesn't change back if left you have to turn it off and back on and then it works fine for 20-30 minutes and back to the same problem again. I have never had a problem with the internet connection and there is no interuption to it or anything.

Any suggestions on what may be causing it to do this?

Thanks
Lisa

Welcome to the forum

First try turning off the phone & remove the battery, replace battery & turn the phone back on.
If this hasn't worked try rebooting the router.

I have exactly the same problem with my desire HD and a Zyxel 660 router.
It goes to authentication in the wifi dialogue after 30 minutes.
This issue seems to be quite common, are there any fixes?
I have changed the authentication time out on the router to 9999 seconds but this is only a temporary fix.

I'm using Zyxel wireless modems at two different locations and get the same drop in connection problem after about 30 mins, very frustrating having to go in settings everytime and turn off and back on again

Could it be the Zyxel modem

Have you resolved the problem? I am having the same problem, but my husband has a Galaxy s and has no problems. This is driving me mad, it happens all the time.
Thanks.

Hi,

I've tried all above solutions and none of them works, still after a few minutes my Wifi connection switch from 'Connected' to 'Authenticating' and I have to turn my WiFi off and on to continue using.

Is there any solution for this yet? My wifi will work fine for a while then randomly switch over to say it's authenticating every morning it seems. Sometimes it will randomly do this during the day...

It will usually still partially work (like visiting websites through opera's turbo compression stuff) but other things like facebook or youtube wont work or will only partially work (such as new youtube videos will load in a search but they wont play or show any of the comments or anything.)

The only solution is to turn off and turn back on the wifi.

I am on a college wifi, I think I have this issue back at my home wifi too but can't check to be sure.
