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 Mac OS X devices?
- These instructions may be different depending on your device's version of macOS. 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 a macOS computer. For instructions for other devices, please see What are MSU Denver's Wi-Fi networks?
Instructions
- Open your device's Wi-Fi menu.
- Click the AurariaNet network.
- Enter your MSU Denver email address in the Account Name field.
- Enter your MSU Denver password in the Password field.
- Click OK.
- You will be prompted to accept a security certificate. Verify it is coming from a "winad.msudenver.edu" address, then click Continue.
- You may also be prompted to make changes to your Certificate Trust Settings. Follow any instructions provided to accept these changes.
