1. Find your network name (or SSID) and password on a sticker on the back, bottom or side of your router.

2. Connect a computer directly to your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
3. When asked, choose WPA/WPA2 security and AES encryption (depending on your options).
4. When asked, create a strong password (or key) to keep your wireless network secure: minimum 8 characters; mix of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and symbols (no spaces). Avoid using common words or personal information.
5. Make note of your new password and keep it safe.

What do I do when leaving my University Village Unit at the end of a Semester or Summer?

Nothing, just leave the router in the unit. Your RA will check to make sure it is in the unit when doing the final check out.

What if my roommate is staying but I will be leaving?

The service from Frontier is no longer connected to anyone's name so nothing needs to be done in this circumstance.

What about APUWIFI and MY-DEVICES?

APUWIFI and MY-DEVICES will still be available on campus, in non-UV residences, and Regional Campuses.
