Anonymous

I am having authentication problems when my wifi is turned on. It says 'authenticating, then Authentication problem'

What do I need to do? How do I uninstall my internet?

Long press on the wifi network you are trying to connect to then when the pop up appears, select forget network. Then when you select it again it will ask you to enter the network password again.

Sometimes switching off the wifi router and switching on again will clear any authentication  issues.

Do the same with the phone...off and on again.

Usually caused by an incorrect password. Remember that passwords are case sensitive too so make sure you use capital letters where required.
