Troubleshooting Tips

These tips may be helpful to users attempting to connect over Wi-Fi.

Failed Connection

A common cause of connection failure is an incorrect username or password. Due to a current limitation with Window 8, Open Mobile does not receive notice that authentication failed and is unable to prompt the user to enter the correct username and password. If a connection fails, users should first check to make sure their username and password is correct by navigating to Settings > Account.

On occasion, an association to a Wi-Fi hotspot is successful, but the log in fails because of a timeout or some other error with the hotspot. A weak signal can cause a failed connection and simply moving to a location with a stronger signal may result in a successful connection.

Back-End Infrastructure Issues

Authentication errors can occur if the back-end authentication infrastructure is not available. This could be an outage at the hotspot provider or with your company’s RoamServer or AAA system.
