The RUWireless Secure network has changed as of March 16th, 2011.

ALL RUWireless_Secure users must reconfigure their devices in order to connect to RUWireless Secure. For most, this is as simple as connecting to RUWireless, returning to the RUWireless login page and clicking "Configure Me for RUWireless Secure". If you are not automatically redirected to the configuration wizard, point your browser to:

https://services.rutgers.edu/ruwireless/cloud.php (Note: You must be connected to RUWireless first)

XpressConnect will run again and repair the configuration automatically. RUWireless Secure is not available for guest users at this time.

For Windows devices:

Before reconfiguration, Windows users may see an error message from secureW2, which can be ignored. Just connect to RUWireless, and follow the instructions above.

For iOS devices (iPhones, iPods and iPads):

The existing RUWireless_Secure profile must be removed before running the configuration wizard. To do this:
  1. Click on Settings
  2. Click on General, scroll to the bottom
  3. Select the RUWireless_Secure profile and click Remove.
  4. Run the RUWireless Secure configuration wizard here and you will be led through the process illustrated in the following screenshots:
  5. iOS Screenshot
  6. Once the process is complete, go to Settings -> WiFi and connect to RUWireless_Secure.
  7. Lastly, go to Settings -> WiFi -> RUWireless and Disable Auto-Join and Auto-Login.
If you do not reconfigure successfully, you will simply see your authentication to RUWireless_Secure fail.

Common Issues:

  • After successfully running cloudpath you might not be redirected and will only see a black screen. If you are using a smart phone, you will have to restart your browser. Other devices may continue to their destination using the address bar as they normally would.
  • In rare cases you might need to reboot your iOS device
  • If you are an iOS user and you are receiving a message saying authentication failed or see any of the following screens when trying to connect to RUWireless Secure, the network profile is not properly configured. You will need to remove the current RUWireless Secure profile and reconfigure your device as detailed above.
