I'm having trouble connecting with my tablet. I keep getting authentication problem. What can I do? It hasn't asked for a password. It just tells me authentication problem.
 
First you should try to find out if you have an iPad or an Android tablet. Next ray to describe the problem with some more details. So far we can only guess you are entering the wrong password.
 

Whatever it is, it has a wifi setup dialog and that lists all wifi networks in reach. If you select yours, it will ask for the password/code.
 


 
When I pick mine, it comes up with signal strength, a security code and cancel, forget or connect. When I pick connect, I get authentication problem.
