Connect Your Device to WVU's Wi-Fi
- Cassandra Rinker
WVU.Encrypted should be used by WVU faculty, staff, and students since the encrypted network eliminates any concerns about wireless eavesdropping. On most clients, you will reconnect automatically rather than having to re-enter your credentials for each wireless session.
An activated Login account is required to use WVU's wireless networks. If you have not activated your Login account, go to login.wvu.edu and click Claim Account.

Network specificationsThe WVU.Encrypted network uses WPA/WPA2 and 802.1X (PEAP) for maximum data security. You will need a notebook or wireless device which supports WPA and AES to connect to the encrypted network, and you will have to preconfigure a wireless profile for the network before you can connect. Guest accountsTemporary guest accounts are not valid on the Encrypted network in most cases; visiting guests, and users with wireless handhelds or other non-WPA-compatible devices, should connect to WVU.Guest instead. |
