Here are some ways to fix the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Try_clearing_the_MyQ_application_data\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Try clearing the MyQ application data.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is one of the ways you can solve the problem easily. You can easily clear the app data using your mobile device. Clearing past data will refresh the app\u2019s function and can be done through the storage setting. After you delete the past data, close the app and reopen it. In most cases, this simple trick should fix the issue.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6178 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/evnex-ltd-DqkqZkS3wdc-unsplash-min-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/evnex-ltd-DqkqZkS3wdc-unsplash-min-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/evnex-ltd-DqkqZkS3wdc-unsplash-min-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/evnex-ltd-DqkqZkS3wdc-unsplash-min-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/evnex-ltd-DqkqZkS3wdc-unsplash-min-1536x907.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Check_the_internet_connection\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Check the internet connection.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Often, this error message comes due to an issue with the internet connection. Try turning off your WiFi router and reboot it. This can streamline network errors and fix any issues with your network.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Your_signal_could_be_low\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your signal could be low.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If your internet signal is low, you can try moving to find a stronger signal for your mobile device. Move closer to your source of WiFi so that the MyQ-installed smart device will work better. Try to stay within at least 20 feet of your router so that the app can function with a strong internet connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Change_your_internet_connection\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Change your internet connection.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you constantly face issues with your internet connection, then the problem could be with your router or service provider. Try changing your router or contact your service provider to have the issue fixed. Often, solving issues with the internet should fix the \u2018authentication is insufficient\u2019 error.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Fix_the_permission_in_your_settings\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fix the permission in your settings.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you have restricted the app from having access to the internet, then it will not be able to function. Change your settings to allow access to the internet, and see if that solves the issue.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6177 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/ecosustainity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sebastian-scholz-nuki-IJkSskfEqrM-unsplash-min-370x245.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Try_removing_the_VPN\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Try removing the VPN.<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You may face this authentication issue if you are using the internet through a VPN connection.
