  5. Select the Wi-Fi settings option.
  6. Select the Add Wi-Fi network option.
  7. If desired, enter a password to protect the wireless network login information you will store, then press OK.

    This does not need to be your UB password, and should be a password you will remember.


  8. In the Add Wi-Fi network screen scroll through the settings to enter the following, where available:

    Network SSID: ubalt-secure.

    Security: 802.1x Enterprise (if not available, select WPA2 Enterprise or 802.1x EAP)

    EAP Method: PEAP

    Phase 2 Authentication: MSCHAPV2

    Identity: your UB netID

    Wireless password: your UB password

*Some labels vary by phone. If you cannot determine which setting/menu to select, refer to the phone manual or contact the manufacturer for wireless network setup instructions.
