Note 4 Wireless connection failure - "authentication error occurred"

[isabel95]

Have had the phone for a couple of weeks and never had a problem with wi-fi.

Now it won't connect to our home network when I use the correct password.

Anyone else have this problem?

Tried several times and also searched the web for an answer - MANY people have had this message with various android phones.
Decided to try my cure-all phone and computer solution - rebooted the phone.
That did the trick.
So before you reboot your home wireless router, try rebooting your phone if you have the same problem.
