    Available Networks Screen

  5. You will now need to enter the WiFi settings available to you;
    Please note that all Android phones and OS versions are different. You may not see all of these options on your individual device:
    • Encryption: PEAP
    • Authentication Type: MSCHAPv2
    • CA Certificate: Don't Validate or Use System Certificates if that is not an option
    • Domain (if asked): uwstout.edu (usually asks for this if you selected Use System Certificates for the option above)
    • Online Certificate Status: Don't Validate
    • Identity:
      • For staff, use your Stout email;
      • For students, your Stout student email but without the "my." that you would normally use in your student email;
        i.e. lastnamefirstinitials1234@uwstout.edu instead of @my.uwstout.edu
        • Note: if you're unable to log in with the @uwstout.edu appended to your username while on campus, try removing that and just use your regular username (all the stuff before the @ symbol in your email)
    • Anonymous Identity (if asked): leave this field empty
    • Password: use your normal Stout password
    • Auto reconnect: enabled (so you don't have to manually reconnect or re-enter this info every time)

      Login Screen

  6. Tap Connect - it will light up when the settings above are entered correctly.

You should now be connected to eduroam!
