Removing a Wi-Fi profile or network on your mobile device

Overview

This article describes how to remove a Wi-Fi profile on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and how to forget a wireless network on an Android device and Windows computer. It is an initial troubleshooting step if you're having difficulty connecting to the SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam networks.

For iPhone, iPad, or Mac, a profile is installed when you use cloudpath.its.sfu.ca to connect to the SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam networks. An invalid profile or expired certificate will prevent your device from connecting successfully.
