If you still can't connect, try the advanced method to connect:

Note: This guide is to serve as a best-effort attempt to provide the required configuration steps to connect to the SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam networks using a vanilla install of Ubuntu. Because of the various levels of hardware, software and driver support of Linux-based devices, your mileage may vary.

1. Open the System menu.
2. Select Preferences.
3. Select Network Connections from the menu.
4. Click on the Wireless tab.
5. Select the Wireless Networks tab.
6. Ensure that SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam is not already in the Networks list. If so, remove it.
7. Click the Add button.
8. Enter the following configuration details (settings are case-sensitive!):
    

   Connection Name	"SFUNET-SECURE" or "eduroam"
   SSID	"SFUNET-SECURE" or "eduroam"
   Mode	"Client" or "Infrastructure"
   BSSID	Leave blank
   MAC Address	Leave blank
   MTU	Automatic

9. Click the Wireless Security tab.
10. Enter the following configuration details (settings are case-sensitive):
     

    Security	WPA & WPA2 Enterprise
    Authentication	Tunneled TLS
    Anonymous Identity	Your computingID@sfu.ca
    CA Certificate	Leave blank
    Inner Authentication	PAP
    Username	Your computingID@sfu.ca
    Password	Your password

11. If you are prompted to use a CA Certificate, you can do so by downloading the Thawte Premium Server CA certificate (you will have to do this before you connect to wireless). You may also choose to proceed without checking the certificate.

You should now be connected to the SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam networks across all SFU campuses.

For any device that is capable of secure wireless and WiFi 5 (WPA2-Enterprise), here are the basic requirements to connect:

If you have an older device and you're having trouble connecting to SFUNET-SECURE or eduroam networks, you can try to connect to SFUNET instead.

To connect to SFUNET:

1. Open your device's Wi-Fi settings and select SFUNET . The captive Wi-Fi portal should appear.
2. Enter your SFU computing ID and password into the web portal. Then select Log In.

1. Open your device's Wi-Fi's settings.
2. Connect to SFU-Guest. A captive portal will appear with the next steps to proceed.
3. After reading the terms and conditions, tap on Agree and Continue.
4. Tap on Create a Temporary Account.
5. Enter your name, email address, and phone number. Then tap on Create Account.
