As a reminder, the Eduroam wireless network is available at all Purdue locations (West Lafayette, Indianapolis, Purdue Fort Wayne and Purdue Northwest) and should be the first choice for users connecting their devices. Eduroam is encouraged over PAL, as Eduroam connects at most educational locations worldwide without any additional configuration. PAL is accessible only at the West Lafayette campus. Both PAL and Eduroam have the same connectivity to the network.

In addition, SecureW2 is highly recommended to ensure a user’s device is configured correctly and to eliminate many common connection issues. SecureW2 is also useful in that users can run the setup tool before coming onto campus, so devices will be ready upon arrival.

Steps for setting up SecureW2:

• Run SecureW2 setup on each device that needs to connect to Wi-Fi.
• Visit https://it.purdue.edu/services/wifi.php, click on “Connect to Eduroam Wireless” and follow the prompts. 
• That link will set up users for any location worldwide that uses Eduroam.

Purdue University in Indianapolis users only:

• Indiana University is changing the “IU Guest” SSID, which may impact user connectivity.
• Purdue IT recommends “forgetting” that SSID in your device settings and following the above steps to use SecureW2 to configure for Eduroam.

To report issues, please contact your local Purdue IT service desk or submit a ticket online at https://service.purdue.edu/.
