Maybe you haven't setup the wi-fi security correctly. Is WEP/WPA activated on your Wi-Fi?

Well you aren't giving us much info.. is it your home wi-fi your connecting to? or are you connecting to a public wi-fi?

Authentication failed, means that the wi-fi needs a passkey in order to gain access to it, without that key, its impossible to connect to it.. unless your a hacker, and have the right tools :P

I can only recommend you, to login to you router and that way, compare settings for wi-fi security, with the ones that are on your phone, and see if you missed something.

In some cases it might be that you need to enter the hexed key directly, instead of the passphrase you used on you router. F.ex when you activate WEP security on the router, you can enter a passsphrase like "cheese" and then it generates a hex-key wich is the real key to enter the router. Entering such a key directly when accessing my wi-fi has proven alot of success when i had problems connecting to a wi-fi.

The WLAN doesnt want to connect to my wireless router
I tried to browse the internet and the WLAN found my wireless router and i tap on that, then it tried to connect to my wireless router....and i got this message

Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Push a button on wireless station to initiate easy setup process and tap 'done'


It has 2 options at the side Pin method and Done

Where can i find the wireless station ?
