SFUNET-SECURE is a recently deployed network that supports 802.11a/b/g protocols as well as full WPA2/AES encryption. It also requires an 802.1x EAP/TTLS client for authentication rather than a web portal. While an initial setup process is required, users are encouraged to use SFUNET-SECURE where possible.

Actually it’s not all that recent, since SFU Surrey’s setup instructions are already out of date. This is the revised instructions for Windows.

Windows Vista Setup

  1. Download and install the latest SecureW2 EAP Suite. This is needed to authenticate to the network.
  2. Navigate to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Networks.
  3. If SFUNET-SECURE is already listed, remove it.
  4. Press the Add button (with a giant green plus sign beside it).
  5. Select Manually connect to a wireless network.
    • Network name: SFUNET-SECURE
    • Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
    • Encryption type: AES

    Check Start this connection automatically if desired, then click Next.
