Government Decrees No. 758 and No. 801, as well as the federal law No. 97 require Internet access organizers to authorize users of their Wi-Fi network by phone number. This is necessary to prevent anonymous access to the network by scammers and intruders. Therefore, in cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs and other public places with free Wi-Fi, guests must have authorization.

What is Wi-Fi Authorization

When connected to Wi-Fi, users are taken to an authorization page where they need to enter their phone number. The system remembers the link "mac-address of the device - phone number" and releases the device on the Internet. Any device: phone, laptop, tablet or computer has its own unique mac-address. You can link multiple devices to one phone number. Each of them will have access to the Internet after authorization. Thus, the user and his devices are identified, and data about them is stored in our system for 12 months in accordance with the law.

How Wi-Fi Identification Works

What is wifi authentication on a phone or tablet, most users of mobile devices know "firsthand" - after all, "users" encounter a connection to a wireless network almost daily. However, why go through this “procedure”, and for what reasons the problem of Wi-Fi authentication arises, not all owners of modern tablet computers understand.

So, wifi authentication: what is it?

Authentication is a security check when connecting a device to Wi-Fi over a secure connection. During the authentication process, the device tells the Wi-Fi equipment the secret code entered by the user.

With the correct password, wifi router connects the device to the network, otherwise the connection is dropped. Thus, only users who are members of the circle of "trusted persons" who know .

In other words, Wi-Fi authentication on an android device is a message to the router of the cipher to enter the network and its subsequent check for a match with the password specified in the router settings.

wifi authentication error android: what to do?

Typically, the authentication process takes a few seconds. But sometimes, when connecting to WiFi (after entering the password), the device shows the “authentication” status for much longer - a Wi-Fi authentication error occurs on the phone, or the device is endlessly authorized on the network.

Typically, this problem occurs for one of the following reasons:

1. 1. Incorrectly entered secret code to connect to WiFI

If you entered the wrong secret code (made a typo, entered it in the wrong layout, or just someone changed the code without your knowledge), then you will not be able to connect, and the “authentication” status will last longer than usual, and will end with an error message.

Solution: check if the password is entered correctly. If you are connecting to a wireless network outside of your home (for example, at your workplace), check with system administrator or colleagues new password.

If you establish a connection with, and are sure that the code was entered correctly, then we advise: perhaps they have been changed without your knowledge.

1. 2. Mismatch between the connection type in the tablet settings and Wi-Fi equipment

Security standards are constantly improving and changing, due to which modern Wi-Fi equipment can operate in various modes that are incompatible with each other. And often a Wi-Fi authentication error on a tablet occurs due to a mismatch between the settings of the android device and network equipment.

For example, if the Wi-Fi router is set to and the access point type on the tablet is set to WEP mode.

In this case, the tablet will see the network, but will not be able to pass the authentication process.

Solution: remove the access point from the list. Search for available Wi-Fi networks and try . If you have access to the router settings, you can also check the security settings and change them.

1. 3. Long distance between router and tablet

In addition, the problem of authentication when connecting to wifi may occur due to. In this case, you need to shorten the distance between the Wi-Fi equipment and the tablet.

Everyone who uses services on the Internet knows the situation when, in order to access the services of the site, we are required to go through registration or authorization procedures. Typical examples are websites of banks and payment systems. Authorization of WiFi users is related to the prohibition of anonymous access to the network through public access points. New order use of Wi-Fi networks is set out in the Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 758 of 07/31/2014 and No. 801 of 08/12/2014.

Legislative requirements for WiFi networks

In case of non-compliance legislative norms about the operation of Wi-Fi, the network operator is threatened with sanctions up to the deprivation of the license for the right to provide these services. Among the main requirements for public Wi-Fi, in addition to the prohibition of anonymous access to the network, is the collection and storage of information about the user for six months.

Access to the public Internet is opened by the identification and authorization of Wi-Fi users, which are essentially identical procedures. They confirm the identity of customers and guests of establishments. The difference between the two is that identification is performed on the first login to the network, while authorization is required on subsequent occasions.

Our proposals for organizing Wi-Fi networks

Arranging a wireless Internet access network from scratch consists of the following steps:

• - determination of the network architecture with the number and placement of access points, coverage and other parameters;
• - selection and installation of equipment according to the developed plan, including equipment for storing data about network users;
• - providing software to manage the operation of the system, including the implementation of identification and authorization procedures.

If necessary, we will provide services for organizing Wi-Fi access on existing networks.

• - the client selects the desired Wi-Fi network in the settings of his mobile device, thereby making a request to enter it;
• - then the user enters the login and password into the electronic form received during the first entry into this network;
• - after sending the form, an SMS will be sent to your number confirming the right to access the network.

To evaluate the design options and page settings of the site system, you can see examples of our work. We guarantee reliable and stable operation of the Wi-Fi network.
