UWM Visitor WiFi (How To) Setup and Connect via Android

This article explains how to connect to UWM's Visitor Wifi with an Android device.

Note: If you have UWM Credentials please use UWMWifi or Eduroam when available. Global Protect VPN is not necessary when using these as they are both encrypted with access to campus resources.

  1. Open the Settings app.

  2. Choose Wi-Fi or Wireless & Networks.

  3. Ensure that the wifi control is on. If not, toggle it on.

  4.  Choose UWMVisitor from the list. 

  5. If you have a newer Android phone, you may need to manually fill in the Domain Name section. Fill this section with: "uwm.edu". 

  6. Enter the password panthers25 and click Connect. (Non-default phase 2 authentication should not be necessary. By default, your phone will say none.) 

  7. On some versions of Android, change CA certificate to do not validate.

  8. You will now be connected to UWMVisitor WiFi.
