Wifi and Wired Network Connection Guide

While each device configuration is different, they all follow the same basic directions:

1. Select the wireless network eduroam from the list of wireless networks.
2. Select Connect (check Connect Automatically, if you’d like).
3. Enter your WUSTL Key username with an @wustl.edu after it.
   • For example, if your WUSTL Key is jemurray you would enter jemurray@wustl.edu for the username.
4. Enter your WUSTL Key password.
5. You may be prompted to accept a certificate, select OK, Accept, Agree and Accept, or Continue (it varies based on your device type).
   • If a window appears requesting additional settings, complete as such:
     • EAP Method: PEAP
     • Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPv2
     • Certificate: None or Unavailable
     • Anonymous: Leave blank
     • Username: WustlKeyUsername@wustl.edu
     • Password: Wustl Key password
   • Android users may need to select a CA certificate setting.  Choose Do not validate (or Not Required or None, depending on your system).  You may also need to specify your Phase 2 Authentication as MSCHAPv2.
6. You are now connected to eduroam.

• If you are unable to connect following these instructions, you may have to check your advanced settings, by following How to add the Eduroam wireless network. 
• As a third-party service, there are times when the login might not work initially; trying again from a different location or an hour or two later typically works.
• For a list of participating Eduroam institutions, check the Eduroam website.

While Eduroam offers our primary internet access, WUSTL 2.0 is also available as a backup when students need it. Wireless Network

3. In your browser, navigate to an external webpage such as www.google.com.
4. Your browser will automatically be re-directed to a page outlining network use policies.
   • If the re-direct doesn’t occur go to portal.ip.wustl.edu
5. Once the policy page loads, scroll down and click the link labeled “Proceed to the Registration Page.”
