Windows Vista/7

WPA Wireless Installation

This utility will configure Windows Vista and Windows 7 for the WPI wireless network. While many wireless cards ship with a vendor supplied configuration tool, these tools are too widely varied for us to easily ascertain which ones properly support WPA, and if so, how to configure them. Therefore, we are only able to support the Windows built in configuration process.

Requirements:

NOTE - Your wireless card needs to be registered through WPI Network Registration (http://netreg.wpi.edu/) prior to working on the WPI Wireless Network.

Setup of WPI Wireless Network

Make sure your wireless card is registered through WPI Network Registration (http://netreg.wpi.edu/). Select [Register New Machine], then choose Wireless: Mobile Wireless Systems from the IP Range list.
Configuration of the WPI network on Vista/7 is completely automated by the certificate installation utility. Simply install it, input the password listed on the certificate download page, and your computer should now automatically connect to the WPI-Wireless network.
