Wireless Network Setup for Android devices

Getting Started

With default out of the box settings, your Android device should be ready to connect to any of Willamette's wireless networks. These instructions will help you step by step.

Before connecting to our network be sure you have the following:

• A valid Willamette Network Account.
• Be in a residence hall or academic building where we provide coverage.
• The proper security key for the network you are connecting to.

Connecting to a network

(This may vary depending on your device/Android version):

1. Navigate to WiFi settings on your device. You may need to swipe down from the status bar and long press the WiFi icon or open a Settings app.
2. Toggle WiFi On.
3. Click on the appropriate network
4. A window will appear prompting you for a password.
   1. Enter the password (security key) from the link above
   2. Tap OK or Connect.
5. Open a web browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox).
6. Follow the instructions displayed in your browser to complete wireless registration.
   1. If a registration page does not open, you may need to enter the address of a website like willamette.edu to force the registration page to appear
   2. If your device has a cellular data plan, you may need to disable it while setting up WiFi.  You can reenable it after registration is complete.

Forgetting a network

You may want to forget a network to make sure your device automatically connects to the right one

1. Navigate to WiFi settings on your device. You may need to swipe down from the status bar and long press the WiFi icon or open a Settings app.
2. Long press on the network you would like the device to forget and tap "Forget network."
3. If you need to forget a network that is not appearing on the network list, go to the "Saved networks" list. You may need to tap the More Options icon (3 vertical dots) to see this.
