Connect to Wireless Network

Only students enrolled in the current semester, current employees, and those with an active guest or sponsored account can access the campus WIFI network.

  1. From your device's WIFI settings, select eduroam from the list of available networks.
  2. In the username field, enter your full UTRGV email address and then enter your password.
  3. If prompted, accept any security or certificate notices.

  • Network SSID: eduroam
  • Security: 802.1x Enterprise
  • EAP method: PEAP
  • Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
  • Identity: Enter your full UTRGV email address.
  • Anonymous identity:
      iPhone:  Leave blank.
      Android:  Enter your UTRGV email address
  • CA Certified:  For Android version 8 and above, select Do Not Validate.
  • Domain:  ad.utrgv.edu
  • Password: Enter your UTRGV password.

If your device has additional fields to fill, you may leave them blank.

  • EAP method: PEAP
  • Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
  • User certificate: Do not check
  • Identity: UTRGV email address
