Connect to utexas Wi-Fi Network
Current students, faculty, staff, and official visitors have access to the wireless network on campus (SSID: utexas).
To connect to utexas, your device must support WPA2 or WPA3 and 802.1x authentication (aka. "WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise") and have 5GHz or 6GHz capabilities (2.4GHz not supported on utexas SSID).
Note: As of May 2025, devices will also need to support WPA3 Transition Mode, even if connecting using WPA2. Some Wi-Fi NIC drives may not support this (notably several models of Intel 802.11ac cards - see KB0020115). If your device does not support WPA3 Transition mode, you will not be able to connect to utexas. Instead, you can connect to eduroam or utexas-iot, both of which operate using WPA2 only.
Most modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) are able to automatically detect the settings to connect to the network. Bring up the list of Wi-Fi networks on your device, select utexas, and log in using your UT EID when prompted.
If your device is unable to detect the settings, you may need to manually add the network. The configuration parameters are (note: depending on your device, not all parameters may be shown):
- SSID: utexas
- Encryption: WPA2-Enterprise
- EAP method: PEAP or TTLS
- EAP Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPv2
- Certificate: Trust on first use
- Domain: utexas.edu
- Outer/Anonymous Identity: "anonymous"
- Identity: Your UT EID
- Password: Your UT EID Password
If you experience trouble connecting to utexas wireless or if a configuration is not available for your device, contact the UT Service Desk.
