To connect to the RRCWireless network you need to have the following settings:

Authentication method: Secured password (EAP-MSCHVL)

Very Important for Windows users: You need to disable “Automatically Use Windows Logon Name and Password”

Once you try to connect you have to enter your username, password and a domain:

Username: Your normal network username ie. jsmith33
Password: Your normal Network Password
Domain: Should be ‘ACADEMIC’ for Students and ‘ADMIN’ for Staff. However, try it without a domain first and the network should automatically detect your domain.
