How do I connect to the AurariaNet wireless network on Android devices?

Remember to use your MSU Denver email address to log in. Don't use your NetID!

Overview

The AurariaNet wireless network is the preferred wireless connection for MSU Denver students, faculty, and staff on the Auraria Campus. ITS suggests using this network whenever possible for a faster, more secure experience.

Before you begin...

  • Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled on your device before taking these steps.
  • Some campus buildings do not yet broadcast AurariaNet and instead use the older MSUDenver network. If you're in such a building, please see How do I connect to the MSUDenver wireless network on Android devices?
  • These instructions could differ depending on your device's version of Android. Not all menu options will be the same, but most will be similar.
  • You must have an active account with MSU Denver and your password must not be expired.
  • If you change your NetID password, you must also update in your device's Wi-Fi settings. Failure to do so may result in repeated account lockouts as your phone continually tries to authenticate with the old password.
  • This article specifically addresses connecting an Android device (e.g. mobile phone, Chromebook). For instructions for other devices, please see What are MSU Denver's Wi-Fi networks?
