So I have tried to trace my issue to it's roots and after a lot of investigation I decided to make this thread.
The issue:
When connecting to home wifi network I get "Authentication error occurred" even though it's the good password.
It first occurred on stock 4.1.1 ROM with stock Kernel even before rooting. What's more interesting is that I've successfully used the same wifi network for around a month. Other devices connect just fine, no settings on the router changed when this started happening. Didn't fiddle with any settings on the phone neither. I can connect to free wifi APs just fine.
What I've tried:
Dialing *#0011# and from service mode disabling wifi power saving feature.
Using all possible encryption combinations on the router (Open - no password, WEP, WPA-PSK AES and/or TKIP, WPA2-PSK AES and/or TKIP or both WPA and WPA2 at the same time), switching channels, disabling 802.11n mode.
Using some modded wpa_supplicant files from this thread.
Using a bad password just to get a different error.
Downloading some other wifi connectors from the Play Store including Wifi Connection Manager which claims to "Fix device Wi-Fi problems." by cleaning the stored wifi config files and maybe something more.
Flashed Omega v10 ROM with Perseus kernel.
All these things and basically any combinations of them worked to no avail. And the only thing that helped was being very close to the router. That way I manage to connect but moving a couple of meters away, like to a nearby room, and it starts giving the same error even though the network strength is still full at that point.
My thoughts:
I saw a similar issue at a couple of places including a similar thread last active dec 23rd, Android issues on code.google.com and androidforums, but no solutions found there worked. Also comparing how my old original Note and an even older LG P500 perform, the wifi signal is obviously weaker on the Note 2. My area is not heavy on wifi networks, so my guess is there's something wrong with wifi drivers or configuration. Sooooo.... What can I do to remedy this issue and also is there any way to beef up my wifi in the process?

I had somewhat the same issue. Autentication error.Even though WIfi worked properly on my Galaxy y.
From v9, I flashed v6 Omega and then everything was working fine. So go ahead and flash Omega v6.
And after that did you go back to a Jelly Bean ROM?
Edit: at first I figured omega v6 wasn't JB, but then I checked... For the peace on my mind I'll try flashing Omega v6 later today.

When I went to v6, all was working well. But when v10 was released,i flashed it,hopiing that the wifi issue is not there but alas same result.
Before flashing,I made a backup of my wifi folder found in root folder /etc/wifi .
After flashing v10, and overwriting the wifi folder with the one that i had backed up, the issue was solved even on 4.1.2 for me.
Worth a try mate.
Do report back.

Authentication Problem Wifi - solved for me
Hi folks - I had the same issue with my Galaxy Note I717 (it's the AT&T Note 1) that I got yesterday. I have no problem with my T959 Vibrant to connect to my router at all. But the Note always gave me the authentication problem. So I took it with me to work today and no problems at all to connect to Wifi over there - everything just worked fine.
Back at home - same issue. So I was thinking about to reset my router when I saw this button on it's side and I remembered that I had read something in the settings of my phone.
So that's what I did: When choosing the network on the phone I went to advanced settings. WPS - here I choose Push Button. After that I pushed the button on my router and voila everything worked as supposed.
After switching Wifi off and back on there was no authentication problem anymore. So to confirm the whole thing I let the phone forget the connection and I had the same authentication problem. After choosing WPS "push button" and pushing the button on the router everything worked again.
I don't know - maybe it's just basics for a lot of guys here, but I was glad to figure that out by myself and maybe it helps someone else.
In the case that it might be important - my Note runs stock ICS 4.0.4, stock kernel. is rooted and unlocked. The Vibrant runs ICS Passion V13.1 and Kernel Kiss Yum Yum Good #2. The router is a D-Link DIR 655 Wireless N
Following up the thread:
No, flashing omega v6 didn't work for me.
What I found out is actually 5 GHz band routers work just fine (for example at my university) and all the 2.4 GHz ones give the same error if I'm not close enough to them (something like 5 meters with straight visibility and 2 meters behind closed doors with my home router Comtrend WAP 5813n).
I have called Samsung's Warranty Center to ask for assistance and since we don't have official Samsung service centers in Lithuania, they told me partnered service centers might just return the phone to me as it is and so they would call me when they found out more about this issue (that was almost 2 weeks ago). Will call them again tomorrow and will post any updates if the story develops.
EDIT: After talking to them they apologized for taking so long and assured me I was not forgotten and the issue was forwarded to UK because they have no records/info about it here in Lithuania. Strange thing is I still have my phone, they didn't even wanna check it out.
Note 2 wireless issues
Lads I tried EVERYTHING to get connection working after it dropped on me after a month. Done everything I have read on every forum. EVERYTHING. All other Samsung devices work fine except this note 2! One other odd thing I discovered. It connects fine to any modem or roster fine then when try again on each it won't. You tell me guys? I had it with this issue. Help before I chuck it in Port Phillip Bay!
Hello Jumbo,
i had the same problem and read a lot threads about this error message.
For me it looks like not all who get this error have the same problem.
Some wrote that they fixed it by
- exchanging the wifi folder with the one from 4.1.1..
- flashed a different kernel
- downgraded to 4.1.2
- changed wifi energy saving stuff
- messed around with their routers
and so on..
I also did all this stuff but with no success..
In my case I figured out that
- the same problem exist on 3 different routers (so it couldn't be a router issue)
- the wifi speed (when I sometimes got connected) kept falling from 65MBit down to 5MBit
and by having a wifi connection, I couldn't reach any webpage.
- then I recognised, that I only had a working connection, when I was close
to my router, like 1 or 2 meters without anything between us. In this case
I had no problems with authentication and to surf on the web.
I decided to send my Note2 in for a repair, and guess what... They changed my
Mainboard and since then, everything is back to work..
How long did it take for the repair? I can't imagine being without my phone for an extended period....
I know, it's an addiction, but I'm ok with that..
Steve
I have an identical issue with my S3 GT-I9300
For a totally reliable wifi connection, I've had to site the cradle for the phone on top of my router!
Am out of warranty, so if anyone finds a fix for this that does not involve a mainboard change...
(My first post on this site- I just wish it had been a fix rather than a query)

Sorry for the late answer.
My repair took 1 week...
shipped it to w-support on Monday and got it back Saturday.
I was really happy with w-support here in Germany.
I've reset my device to stock and so far it's been sitting @ warranty center for a week, no answer about the roots of the problem yet..
May have found a solution
Hi,
I had the similar problem. With me it started happening after I changed to a Zyxel modem. After some investigation I noticed that in the Zyxel the default gateway is set at 192.168.1.254 whereas most other brands use 192.168.1.1.
Have an inkling that Android doesn't play nice with non-192.168.1.1 gateways.
So changed this in the router settings.
To be sure I also allocated fixed IP on the LAN to my devices and made sure that in the advanced settings of my WiFi network on the Android device I made sure the primary and secondary DNS addresses matched those that the router uses.
Oh.. And to top it all off I fixed the broadcast channel of the router to channel 11 (Probably best you use an app like WiFi Analyser from the Play Store to find the channel that works best for you)
This seems to have solved it for me for now. (I know, not a very scientific method, but got fed up with trying to isolate the culprit)
BTW. Am running (1) Galaxy Note on latest stock ROM (rooted though) (2) Galaxy Tab 2 7" (stock JB ROM - non rooted).
Hope this helps..
Sounds so strange that gateways and channels did it for you. I've tried to change channels on my router with no results. Also I have tried way too many routers before I decided router settings were not a problem. I guess we may have different kind of hardware/software faults resulting in same error message.

I know. It is weird.
Mind you only a few hours have passed since my changes. I'll keep an eye on it if it reverts to it's old state.
Ok.
Had the same issue again this morning, but oddly enough, once it connects, it stays connected. Also when the phone is put to sleep.

I'm unable to connect through wifi on asus zenfone 2. I have tried the suggestions given in net but it didn't help me that much. It keeps on connecting and dropping then reconnecting. It's really frustrating me a lot. :crying: . But it worked fine for me before. Not sure it's because of latest firmware update or not. If anyone had this problem and rectified it means pls let me know the solutions. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for quick response
Hi Asus,
Yesterday night i just tried my luck to connect with wifi and it got connected . But after current went and came, i tried to connect again but this time it did not connect to me. I could not understood the reason for it. I restarted my phone & modem but still same. Pls tell me what could be the reasons for this wifi connecting issues.
See of your router/ modem has a firmware update. If it does take it. That usually sorts these type of problems.
Are you able to connect to other WiFi networks? If not there are several helpful tips regarding basic troubleshooting techniques in an app called ASUS Support: Please see Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance/3G-LTE-WIFI-GPS/Cant connect to WiFi.
If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me direct at the email below.

Having the same problem
Hello, I'm from Paraguay.
Got the phone a week ago, and at first Wi-Fi connected okay, no problems at all.
Since yesterday, it hasn't been able to connect to Wi-Fi, it just keeps on disconnecting, saving, connecting again, disconnecting, and it never actually manages to just stay connected.
I have tried re-initiating the phone, putting it in airplane mode then turning it off again, forgetting all wi-fi connections and then connecting again, turning Wi-Fi on and off, turning the router off and then on again, and until now I haven't been able to solve the problem.
Right now I'm trying to check for updates to see if anything important's missing, but my phone provider is also being problematic by not letting me download updates using my network connection (though that's another problem I think I'll have to solve with my provider).
I was trying to avoid running a factory reset if possible, so I don't know what else to try.
Authentication Problem
I'm having a similar issue. Just like Blasterkat101, it was working fine for the first couple of weeks, but recently (possibly since the most recent OTA update), I'm getting "Authentication Problems" on any wifi I connect to. After I try to connect a couple of times, it finally works. If I walk out of range and come back, I get the "Authentication Problems" error again.
I already followed all of the troubleshooting on the support page, but those suggestions seem like temporary fixes rather than correcting the problem permanently.
In case it matters, I'm using the ZE551ML variant.
I hate to bump, but this is still a daily occurrence for me on multiple saved access points. I admit, I haven't done a factory reset yet since it can be such a pain, but is anyone else having this issue?
Any suggestions before I wipe my phone? I would really appreciate it!
Please try turning off 'WiFi Scanning always available.' To do this go to Apps/Settings/WiFi Settings/Advance Settings(menu in upper right corner)/Scanning always available/turn Off. If problem still exists, please see the following link for troubleshooting methods: http://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1006657/

Not sure is this is helpful, but you could also try changing the Band to only 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, depending on your router. It might help with stability.
Thanks for the responses, but I'm still stuck.
I did turn off "WiFi Scanningalways available," and that did not help.
I tried changing the 2.4GHz channels (with 5GHz disabled) on my router, and that didn't help. I also tried leaving only 5GHz enabled. That also did not help. But I did not expect it to anyway because this is happening on any access point I use (work, home, friends).
I'll do some more troubleshooting, but I think a factory reset is in my future.

I hope you could fix the issue?
Mine stopped having problems on its own, but it still got authentication problems from time to time anyway. No idea what's wrong.
And yesterday the phone just stopped being able to charge and battery got to zero. Right now it's dead, but I guess that's a completely unrelated problem I'm trying to solve on my own.
I foresee that returning the phone is in my future -.-
Even I was having the same problem. Tried the Airplane on, Wifi on, Airplane off thing; didn't work. But what worked for me was changing the SSID and security key of the router. Now of course you can only do this if you are on you home router, but do give it a try.
I've just updated the firmware on my zf2 64g2g and now my Wi-Fi is causing major problems. I connect but within seconds it disconnects and then I have to forget network to regain access. I know its not my network as my old n5 is fine and all my other devices. This has only started since the last asus update. My phone is unusable. Wish I didn't buy it tbh. Too buggy.
[SOLVED} This fixed it for me

TRY THIS. IT FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ME.
There is a reboot option in your router settings page. Do that and it should be connecting fine.
Have anyone fix this issue? I just bought a Zenfone2 ZE551ML and wifi is always connecting and disconneting over and over.
try with static IP Address (not DHCP)
I also have 32gb 4gb Asus ZE551ml and can not connect to wifi network.
Also sim 1 card signal is too low and other phones signal has the highest . Any solution please?

Stock 6.0.1 mtc19v, on T-Mobile, july security update, never rooted this handset
I decided to start my own thread because I didn't want to hijack another's.
So here's the problem. Had my 5x for 3 days. And I love it, but it has weird wifi issues. I can't watch YouTube while I'm on wifi but it starts up with no issues while on LTE. Downloading apps and their updates take up to 20 minutes. While it's instant on LTE. Wifi calling is super choppy too. And my 5x occasionally disconnects too.
Everything else works fine on wifi. Chrome is quick, so is feedly.
So I searched here and on Google and many people have the same issue. Some say 6.0.1 was bugged.
Either way I tried all the advice given to others. My router and modem are up do date. I reset them various times. The problem can be replicated on my sister's wifi and my dad's.
Check my phone's APN. Changed to 2.4 and 5ghz bands on the phone. Went back to auto wifi band. Nothing.
Tried safe mode. No dice.
I even wiped. No luck either.
I also tried wiping the data and cache on a few apps, play store being one of them. Can't remember the other two.
Anything else I'm missing or is 6.0.1 really bugged?
Is there a possibility mtc19z has a fix? I haven't received that update yet.
Forgot to mention
I called Nexus tech support. They say it's not a known issue. Project fi's tech support said the same thing.

Hi man, the lollipop dhcp didn't work. Tried it with Bluetooth on and off
Last option I can think off.
settings/backup & reset/network settings reset.
After that I would try doing a clean flash with the latest stock image, no apps etc and see what happens.
If that doesn't work I would return it for a new one.

My N5X has not had any wifi issues, thankfully, but I have had weird wifi issues on other android phones in the past. What has worked for me was to go into my router's settings and use DHCP Reservation to assign a specific IP address to the phone, and to make sure there were no conflicts in the IP assignments of various devices on the network. I also replaced the router's default DNS servers with Google's.
Those two steps have solved my android-related wifi issues in the past. But, again, I haven't had any issues with the N5X so this may or may not help you.

Nexus 5x wifi + Bluetooth.
So couple of years i use it without bluetooth turned on. With some wifi access points phone can't get in deep sleep. Some other access points sending packets to phone.
One day a read about bluetooth "on" options. And surprise, now phone can go deep sleep and dose not have battery drain.
Now i have to keep my bluetooth always on. Was same for android 6,7,8,8.1. with factory reseted.. different kernels dos not help.
Maybe some heard - it is hardware issue? Its go under warranty?
So i have noticed that while i am on wifi for example the videos on instagram take a while to load, this is kind of crazy because i am on fios 5G internet on wifi. Im coming from iphone so i know there was an option on iPhones that chose to give more prescedence that if you were connected to wifi it used the internet from that then the provided one from T-mobile for example. So my questions is, has this happened to anyone else? Or is there any other solution to this?
I've been experiencing the same issue since the time I purchased the device and I'm yet to come across any particular solution. A workaround that I've found is disconnecting the wifii, reconnecting it and then rebooting the device. It starts to work normally after doing those 3 things for at least a day.
I had the problem too. My router was having issues with ipv6 firewalls and only the 5ghz had issues. I solved mine by downloading a VPN app. I'm using NoRoot Firewall and everything works fine now.

where do you find that? but even if so im connected to wifi already why would the phone be searching for additional access points?
Settings -> location -> scanning (three dots on the top right).
I think it scans for other wifi in the area to help pinpoint your location (not sure how google does it).
So, I noticed my pixel 3 xl WiFi is disconnecting frequently.
It's connected to a secure 5Ghz band.
I did reset network, updated to November update
My other devices are properly connected and never had an issue. My S8 has never had this issue.
I did forget WiFi and tried again. It's only pixel 3 xl that's doing that.
I am not rooted and bootloader is locked..

So, I noticed my pixel 3 xl WiFi is disconnecting frequently.
It's connected to a secure 5Ghz band.
I did reset network, updated to November update

I'm noticing the same thing. Can't narrow it down. Are you using any of those VPN based ad blockers?

Nope, no VPN either.
I was just using Chrome connected to my TV the first gen. And it randomly disconnected again.
I did complete factory reset too. Same thing.
I'm having this same issue. When connected to WiFi, things typically work for a few seconds, then they go to hell. It's intermittent, and it never works for longer than a minute.
In my household there a Pixel 2 XL, S9+, LG V20, and this Pixel 3 XL. All phone's, game consoles, laptops, security cameras, and even guest phone's work fine, but not the Pixel 3 XL. It does the same crap on my works WiFi too.
When I first setup the phone, I transferred data from my old phone. It took 22 hours to complete whatever tasks it had to complete when the transfer was done. That turned out to be the start of my wifi issues.
I've factory reset, reset network settings, deleted all sorts of caches, tried other networks, different network settings, even tried removing my case, and bought a new router. Nothing works...
I'm also having disconnect issues. One of the Pixel's wi-fi connection issues FAQs suggested resetting the wireless router to see if that cleared things up. I tried that after forgetting & re-establishing the connection didn't help. It made a substantial improvement, but it did not eliminate them. Obviously something else is going on.
Mine seems ok. The only disconnects I ever experience are my XBOX One disconnecting in the middle of games...

I tried this too with no improvements. I dont think this is a good solution though since my wifi doesnt work on any network i try. I work for a fairly large company, getting them to reset the hundreds of routers they have would definitely not work!
I had the issue too and read somewhere that turning on Bluetooth would stabilize the WiFi connection.
I tried it and it works for me.
I don't consider it a solution, but it might be a usable workaround for you.
I too have been encountering the issue with WiFi disconnecting. That said I only know it is happening due to picking up my phone and apps connected to my smart home report no connections. The phone has reconnected to WiFi but the apps are not recovering.
I am not using VPN ad blocking and my Bluetooth is on.
My Bluetooth is never off, but some devices use the same piece of hardware for both so I've done the opposite and shut it off to see if that might fix it and there's no difference whether Bluetooth is on or off.
Thanks for posting a new idea though!
Same problem here but only with AVM Fritz WLAN products. Access points from other companys work without problem.
Wi-Fi disconnects every few minutes, switches to mobile and immediately reconnects.
AVM Support say that they have tested it with one of the employees Pixel 3XLs and it's working without problems.
Google replaced my device but same issue with the new one.
I tried flashing the very first Factory Image and it has the same problem. And with Q the problem exists too.
I was able to find a solution for me. It was caused by AFWall+.
I uninstalled it and installed new beta 3.2. Setting everything by hand and now the disconnects are gone ?
