-
UR_Connected: This connection is intended for Active Directory users who want the highest level of security. It uses WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access with advanced encryption).
-
UR_RC_InternalSecure: This connection uses WPA (WiFi Protected Access) to provide security by encrypting traffic between a personal computer and the wireless network. When prompted for a pass phrase when connecting with UR_RC_InternalSecure, type URWireless.
-
UR_RC_Guest: This connection is intended for non-Campus community populations (contractors or un-sponsored guests who do not need a NetID). It is important to note that this connection is unsecured. Those sponsored by a Faculty or Staff member should use the secured access, UR_RC_InternalSecure.
