NYU Wi-Fi

Trying to authenticate with an NYU password that has expired, or that has a typo in it, is one of the most common causes of issues connecting to Wi-Fi. Luckily, it’s also easy to fix.

Did you reset your password since the last time you connected to NYU Wi-Fi?

If you’ve reset your password for any reason, make sure your device is using the new password when it tries to connect. The way to do this varies by device. Some will prompt you to re-enter your password if authentication fails. Others may fail to connect without warning you.

The best way to make sure you’re using your current password is to forget then rejoin the “nyu” network, using your new password.

Using your current password but still not able to connect? Check for typos.

Making a typo while entering your NYU password into your device’s Wi-Fi settings is common. If your device doesn’t have the option to display your password, it may still show you each character briefly so you can confirm it as you type.

In some rare cases, it may be a password-syncing issue.

Although it’s not common, it is possible for a password to get “out of sync” between NYU services. If you know you’re using your current password and you’ve typed it in correctly, but you are still having trouble, you can set a new password on the NYU Start Page, then forget and rejoin the nyu Wi-Fi network, entering the new password you just created.
