Unable to connect phone to normal Wifi networks after using corporate WiFi I use my office network which is a Corporate WiFi set-up secured with 802.1x (and requires me to use my company credentials - Username and Password). But when I'm back home and try to connect my home WiFi router which is protected by WPA/WPA2 PSK security (which requires just a password), I can't get it connected automatically (even if I have the network remembered).

All I can do to fix it currently is;


Restart my home router several times.
Restart my phone for 2-3 times.
Forget all remembered WiFi networks on phone.


and only after above steps it can connect, otherwise I get Authentication Problem as error if I try to connect. I'm on Android 4.2.1 (almost stock android, just some custom icons by vendor) device running on MediaTek chipset (MTK6589T), Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 to be specific.

While this same problem is with my other friends as well who use our company network at office in their phones (which are varied from Samsung, Sony, and even Nexus).

What can I do to avoid this daily hassle when I return home and connect home WiFi?
Disable Google sync (leak wifi passwords). If you have rooted smartphone try wifipass application (check wifi pass) and wifi analyzer (diff wifi connection attributes)
