Android Nougat Wifi Authentication Problem - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So recently I have tried to install several Nougat ROMs (CM14 nightlies and AOSP Extended) on my Oneplus X and they seem to work fine except one issue that is keeping me from switching to those ROMs.
The issue is that I can't seem to be able to connect to my home Wi-Fi (haven't tried connecting to other Wi-Fi routers as I do my ROM installations at home, where only my Wi-Fi is available). Whenever I press the "connect" button, after inputting the password, the connection status under the SSID goes from "connecting" to "authenticating" to "saved" then back to "authenticating" and the "authentication problem". Basically, the authentication fails and I am not able to connect to my Wi-Fi. I have never encountered this kind of problem on CM13 based roms before.
This is the only big issue that keeps me from switching to Nougat ROMs (besides the Wi-Fi authentication problem they seem to be stable enough for daily use) as I constantly use my home wifi.
Has anyone had this kind of issue and solved it?
Any kind of help/input would be very appreciated!
Thanks.

Authentication error is you inputing the wrong password. Sometimes I noticed the keyboard tries to enter a capital for the first letter of your password thinking it's first word of a sentence.

I thought so too, but I made sure to enter the password absolutely correctly (I have probably entered the password over and over again over 20 times...).
Still, no luck...

Found the issue. And now I feel quite retarded...
It seems that my father has changed the Wi-Fi password just a few days ago (right before I came back home for Christmas break) and so I was entering the old password and getting that error.
Basically, the issue is not ROM/Android version related.

[Q] Home wifi suddenly not working right with archos 70

I have recently returned to my apartment with my brand new archos 70. I use WPA2-PSK encryption for my wifi network. at first everything was golden, I could browse the web and whatnot just fine. as of a few days ago, wifi has not been working correctly. my device connects to the network (pulls an ip address from the router) but when I try to browse web pages or open web based apps they hang up and act as if I have no connection. it works fine on other networks (to limit the problem to my network) I have tried doing a factory reset of the device, tried power cycling my router and modem with no luck. I have also changed encryption types to no avail. i have the latest firmware for the gen 8 series. also from time to time during this session of events, sometimes it will connect to the router, then disconnect and reconnect. I have no clue whats going on because I havent changed any router settings since I got back. the only other devices on my wifi network are two laptops. any help would be appreciated.
you mean you restored to the factory settings ran through the start up all over again and it still won't connect to your router? have you tried any other types of connections or routers?
I had this problem just the other night was this close to reformatting the whole thing. but I solve the problem by turning the device off, then holding the reset button while it rebooted to turn it off again, an reinitializing the drivers.
how do you reinitialize the drivers? I did a factory wipe. and it connects, it shows as having network connectivity (even my router lists it as a dhcp client and currently making use of the access point) but no internet functions work. ive connected to other networks fine.
This happened to me when I first got my A70. What I had to do to fix it (after getting incredibly pissed, reformatting twice, and almost returning the thing) was to set it up to use a static IP address on my home wifi network. Don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it works beautifully for me and I'm able to enjoy the device now.
Just remember to uncheck "use static IP address" when you get on other wifi networks.
well, I set up static addressing, gave it a private ip, set up the gateway and dns, and it still wont connect to anything.
If set as wireless N, set as N+G or G only, latest firmware may have trouble connecting to wireless N networks.
na, I dont have it set to n, I have it set to auto which I believe puts it to g with my archos. thing is, it used to work. now it suddenly has problems.
Im beginning to wonder if the archos tablets are just picky about wireless routers. I wouldnt think so...
Upgrade the firmware
Archos published a firmware upgrade to solve this problem (December 2010). The related bug in the release notes is...
Wi-Fi: fix Wi-Fi stuck after a while when using WPA2/AES encryption mode
The new firmware download link is in the Archos website.
you can download the firmware to your computer, copy it to the root directory of the tablet using the USB cable, and run the upgrade process in the tablet.
... or you can use another WiFi network (without WPA2/AES) and download the update in the same tablet
Note: I cannot send the links, however you can use the information to search the links in the internet.

Is wifi in webOS supposed to be buggy as well?

So I know wifi in android is buggy, this isn't a question about that.
My Touchpad won't connect to my wireless network at work. (in webOS or android) It always fails the IP configuration part. My android phone connects fine, and my laptop, and my iPad.
Kind of kills the usefulness of the tablet for me. Wondering if I should call up HP before my 90days are up.
Thanks in advance
I have had no issues with webOS 3.0.2 or 3.0.4 at work or home (and I run a number of access points at both locations). Always connects by itself everytime. Too early to tell with 3.0.5 but no issues so far.
Have you tried other routers? It could be just some issue with your router. Have you tried to manually assign an IP, I know you can in android.

It connects to my home network fine, just not the work one. Tried manually assigning an IP and that didn't work in either OS. Going to install the update to webOS and see if that fixes things.
As poster above mentioned, corporate/work networks seem to be the only thing that webOS MIGHT not play well with occasionally. I've gotten it to successfully connect to my work's 802.1x EAP network. It actually worked quite well, but then sometimes it stumbles a bit before connecting.
For the most part though, webOS wifi works just fine. Of course, this is because HP dev'd it with the drivers they have, that we DONT have, and most likely will never have.
Wifi now connects on both OS's after updating webOS to 3.05
Lol go figure

It hasn't before for you? I'm curious about your experience.
The deal with Wifi in android is multi-faceted:
1. Accessing the wifi options sometimes crashes the thing, and you have to force close the settings app and try again.
2. With Wifi on, the wifi menu can be quite sluggish
3. A lot of times, it wont even scan for networks. It just says disconnected for ages, or will eventually scan, then try to connect, but never get past "Acquiring IP address".
4. A lot of times it will randomly lose its connection, yet still indicate that it's connected just fine. A toggling of the wifi usually fixes this, but also starts you at square 1 with attempting to connect to an AP. For some people, this process can be a nightmare.
5. Some people simply cannot connected to their secured network at all. Period.
Are you experiencing any of these issues still?

Before update:
never had any problems with wifi at all, except it just wouldn't connect to either of my two networks at work in either OS. Neither OS could get past the IP config stage. Tried manually assigning IPs in both OS's but that accomplished nothing. Home 5ghz network zero issues.
After update:
Instant connection, no issues.

Problems connecting to some wifi networks (GT-i9100M)

Hey all,
I've had my Galaxy S II GT-i9100M for a bit more than two months now. It's been on ICS 4.0.3 since the first day I got it, and is unrooted.
Wifi was working fine the first month or so that I've had it. However, in the last month, while trying to connect to my university's networks from the wifi settings screen, it will display "connecting" for a long time, then change to "saved", without successfully connecting to the network. Odd thing is, if I turn the wifi on and off repeatedly, it may connect eventually, with around a 5-15% success rate each try. However, there's also a relatively high chance it will automatically disconnect itself within a few minutes.
The school has three main wifi networks: one is unsecured, while two are secured with exactly the same authentication methods (PEAP + MSCHAPv2) and takes the same login credentials. All three have the same problem when I try connecting. It's not a problem with signal strength, either, since my friends nearby can connect using their phone or laptop without any problems.
Here's what I've already tried to do to fix this:
Asked the school's IT helpdesk
Forget both secured networks so the phone can autoconnect to the unsecured one
Tried wifi diagnostic tools, such as Wifi Analyzer and Wifi Fixer, and tried changing to a better channel
Deselected "back up my data" in the Back Up and Reset settings screen, deleting existing wifi settings from Google's servers
Connect using a static IP address rather than DHCP. Either it has the same Connecting->Saved issue, or says something about "avoided a poor connection"
Did a factory reset, including wiping all user data
The wifi has no problems connecting to my home wireless network, and to most, though not all, other public networks I've tried (same problem as above if it doesn't work).
On a somewhat different note: there are two networks (each of which I've only connected to once at most) that are permanently saved on the list of access points; there's actually no way to forget/delete the network. They even survived the hard resets, and are listed before I link the phone to my Google account. Could this be related to the main issue above?
Is there a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

[Q] Wi-Fi stops working sporadically even for known connections

Hello - Have been running XtreStoLite rooted for months now on my SM-G900T. About a week ago all of my known Wi-Fi connections would stop working sporadically. When I take a look at whats going on, my phone says there is authentication issue (password is wrong). It would seem obvious that this is the problem but I know this is not the case when connected to the few Wifi networks I consistently use, because I would have to be the one that would change the Wifi password to connect (I haven't changed it). Also, it may work normally anywhere between a few seconds to a few hours, then bam, out of nowhere I'm disconnected due to authentication problems. Where I'm at now is that there is something wrong with my S5, causing it to send the wrong password credentials. Even if I forget the connection and re-enter credentials it will fail, no other devices have this problem on these Wifi networks. Does anyone have an idea where to start troubleshooting now?

Turning on encryption causes wifi connection problems?

Since flashing my Moto E to Resurrection Remix, I've lost my ability to connect to my workplace's wifi. They say that my phone is only trying to obtain an IPv6 address, and the wifi networks only support IPv4, so my phone stays at "Obtaining IP address" for a while and then fails to connect. Wifi works perfectly on my home router.
I looked through the options (including Developer ones, like using Lollipop's version of DHCP, which didn't work, either). Is there an option to enable IPv4 or disable IPv6 within Marshmallow/RR/CM? A Google search wasn't much help, as most all articles about Android and IPv6 are quite old.
Thanks!
After further investigation, the problem seems to arise in Resurrection Remix after I encrypt the phone. The wifi worked perfectly fine before encrypting, but then stopped working afterward, at least for this one network. Why would this happen?
Has anyone else experienced problems after encrypting Resurrection Remix or other ROMs?
I tried several other ways of encrypting, including restoring from my factory backup and encrypting before flashing RR, but encountered a bootloop while optimizing the same 24 apps over and over.
Interesting, I've never had this problem and I'm glad I haven't tried to encrypt my device over WiFi now
