Connect a Chromebook to the Campus Network

These steps connect a Chromebook to The College of Wooster wireless network using your Wooster account. This is the recommended network for Chromebooks on campus.

Connect to the Network

  1. On your Chromebook, open Wi-Fi settings and select the The College of Wooster wireless network.
  2. Enter the connection settings shown in the table below. Most are correct by default, but confirm each one.
  3. Click Connect.

Connection Settings

Match these exactly:

EAP methodPEAP
EAP Phase 2 authenticationMSCHAPv2
Server CA certificateDo not check
IdentityYour full College of Wooster email address
PasswordYour Wooster password
Anonymous identityYour full College of Wooster email address
Settings for Wi-Fi connection
Settings for Wi-Fi Connection

Make the Connection Automatic

This enables your Chromebook to reconnect on its own each time you are on campus:

  1. In the network settings, turn on Prefer this network.
  2. Turn on Automatically connect to this network.

Verify You Are Connected

You are connected when the Wi-Fi icon shows The College of Wooster network as active and you can open a web page. If a sign-in or password prompt keeps returning, re-check the settings in the table above, especially Identity and Anonymous identity, which both use your full email address.

Troubleshooting

  • It will not connect or keeps asking for your password: forget the network and re-enter the settings. In Wi-Fi settings, select The College of Wooster, choose Forget, then start again from the top.
  • You recently changed your password: the Chromebook may still be trying the old one. Forget the network and reconnect with your new password.
  • The Server CA certificate option is missing: some older Chromebooks do not show it. If you cannot set it, contact the Help Desk.
  • Still stuck: bring your Chromebook to the Help Desk and we will get you connected.
