There are three main Wi-Fi networks which you should be aware of.

Imperial-WPA

This network is purely for members of Imperial College London. You should be able to log in with your Imperial credentials (e.g. jbloggs8). You may be asked to accept a security certificate from wireless.imperial.ac.uk - please do so.

Android devices may be picky about joining the network. Please ensure that you have the following options set:

  • EAP Method: PEAP
  • Phase 2 authentication: MSChapV2
  • CA Certificate: use system certificates (if this option is not available then select "bypass" or "do not validate", whatever the option is for your device).
  • Anonymous identity: anonymous@imperial.ac.uk

EduRoam

This network is purely for visiting academics, i.e. anyone with a .edu or .ac.X email address. They should log in with their fully qualified username (e.g. jbloggs8@ox.ac.uk).

_The Cloud

This network is for guest access. Simply log in with an existing _The Cloud account, or create a new free one using any email address you have. Obviously don't enter an Imperial email address, as in this case you should be using Imperial-WPA.

What about the "Imperial" Wi-Fi network?

This is a legacy network, used by guests before Imperial College London invested in infrastructure with _The Cloud.
