How do I connect to the UCLA_SECURE wireless network?
On the UCLA Campus, you can pick from UCLAWLAN, the new UCLA_WIFI (Same as UCLAWLAN), some lame free WiFi that doesn’t work, OR UCLA_SECURE. Of course you want UCLA_SECURE. Its the best!
But how do you connect to this super awesome powerful wifi? Well… there’s a few steps.

It uses WPA2 Enterprise security.
Check the Certificate, it should be for auth.ucla.edu.
Use you’re UCLA Logon ID and password to connect.
That should be enough info to get you connected on any OS, but click the link if you need pretty pictures.
