Hi @Nicole1122,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your Wi-Fi is saying "WPA is not correct," it usually indicates an issue with the Wi-Fi security settings, specifically the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) password or encryption method. Here’s a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
Troubleshooting Steps:
Verify the Password:
- Double-check that you are entering the correct WPA password. Make sure there are no typos, extra spaces, or incorrect capitalization.
- If you're unsure of the password, you may need to check it on your router or ask the network administrator.
Check Wi-Fi Network Settings:
- Ensure that your device is attempting to connect to the correct network. Sometimes, devices may inadvertently try to connect to a similarly named network.
- Forget the network on your device and then reconnect by entering the password again.
Restart Your Devices:
- Restart the Router: Power off your router, wait for about 30 seconds, and then power it back on. This can help resolve temporary connectivity issues.
- Restart Your Device: Turn off your computer, phone, or tablet, and then turn it back on.
Check Router Settings:
- Access your router’s settings page by entering the router’s IP address in a web browser (usually something like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1).
- Log in with the admin credentials (often found on the router or in its manual).
- Verify that the WPA/WPA2 password set in the router matches the one you’re trying to use. Ensure that the encryption type is set correctly (WPA2 is more secure than WPA).
- Check if there is a firmware update available for your router. Updating the firmware can resolve known issues and improve compatibility.
- Ensure that there are no significant sources of interference near your router, such as large metal objects or other electronic devices that might affect the signal.:
- Attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network using a different device to see if the issue is specific to one device or affects all devices.
Reset Network Settings:
- On your device, you can reset network settings to default. This will remove saved networks and passwords, so you’ll need to reconnect and re-enter passwords.
- On Windows: Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.
- On iOS: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- On Android: Go to Settings > System > Reset options > Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
Check Router Security Settings:
- Ensure that your router’s security settings are correctly configured. For instance, WPA3 might not be supported by older devices, so ensure that WPA2 is enabled.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
