Problem

"I can't connect to WiFi."

Solution

To fix this issue, try one or more of the following solutions.

Simple fixes

 Did you recently change your password?

Go to your device settings and update your password. Remember to use your full email address with @calpoly.edu for eduroam.

 Is eduroam running slow?

Go to your device's wireless settings and turn off your Wi-Fi. Wait a few moments, then turn your Wi-Fi back on. This should connect you to the nearest access point.   

 Are you trying to connect an IoT device (such as a game console, printer or media device)?

The eduroam WiFi network does not work with IoT devices. There is a separate network for devices that typically connect only to home WiFi networks called CP-IoT-Secure. Learn how to connect to CP-IoT-Secure and what WiFi devices are supported on campus.
