Android Phone Wifi problem

    My own android phone is working away perfectly but I'm trying to set up
    a brand new alcatel pixie android phone for a friend.

    When in notifications my wifi icon is there but shaded out.

    First time I tried to connect it asked me for the password which I entered
    and the icon lit up like a light bulb, but soon as I left the notifications page,
    there was no icon showing anywhere.


    Go back in and try again, its tries and does connect 'sometimes' but when u
    leave no joy, other times it just says 'authenticating problem'


    How do I resolve this, so near sooooooo far:(


    Sick rebooting modem and phone.
