[Legacy] How do I connect to the MSUDenver wireless network on Mac OS X devices?

Body

Overview

Some buildings on the Auraria Campus have not yet moved to the AurariaNet Wi-Fi network. For these buildings, MSU Denver students, faculty, and staff should connect to the MSU Denver network for a faster, more secure experience.

Before you begin...

  • If you don't see the MSUDenver network, you may be in a building that has transitioned to AurariaNet. In that case, please see How do I connect to the AurariaNet wireless network on macOS 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.
  • This article specifically addresses connecting a macOS computer. For instructions for other devices, please see What are MSU Denver's Wi-Fi networks?

Instructions

  1. Click the Wi-Fi icon in the top menu bar. Ensure Wi-Fi is turned on.

  2. Select the MSUDenver wireless network.

  3. In the Username field, enter either your MSU Denver NetID or full email address. Enter your MSU Denver NetID password for the Password. Then click Join.

  4. You will be prompted to accept a security certificate. As long as it is coming from a "winad.msudenver.edu" address, you can click Continue.

  5. If prompted, click Cancel on the Certificate Trust Settings window. You may need to do this a couple times.
