UCONN-SECURE Network

Apple iPhone / iPod Touch

The following step by step instructions will detail how to configure your Apple iPhone / iPod touch to run on the UCONN-SECURE wireless network.

Note:  You must be running Version 2 software on your iPhone / iPod touch to connect to UCONN-SECURE.

  1. Change your NetID password at https://netid.uconn.edu from a wired connection.

Note: If you have changed your NetID later than March 4, 2008 then you do not have to perform this step. This will change your password for ALL applications that use NetID such as your Exchange/Huskymail account and HuskyCT

  1. Select / tap the Settings icon on the main screen.

  1. Fill in your NetID and Password and select / tap Join.

Note:  Sometimes this step takes multiple tries.  This is because an iPhone / iPod Touch must try every WPA2 Authentication type before finding a match.  Once it tries to authenticate and matches PEAPv0 (MS-CHAPv2) you can proceed.
