EECS-Secure Wireless

EECS-Secure is being retired! Please migrate to eduroam immediately and contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have trouble.

EECS-Secure is an 802.1x encrypted wireless network. It utilizes WPA2-Enterprise security, with AES encryption and PEAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication; access is granted based on your EECS Windows account credentials. As with other EECS networks, your machine must be registered before using the EECS-Secure wireless network.

These settings should be used to connect to EECS-Secure:

  • Wireless Security: WPA2 Enterprise, AES encryption
  • EAP Method: PEAP
  • Key Type: Automatic
  • Phase2 Type: MSCHAPV2
  • Domain: eecs.berkeley.edu
  • Identity: Your EECS username
  • Password: Your EECS Active Directory (Windows) Password
  • Privacy (Android): Use device MAC
  • Private Address (iOS): Disabled

During the connection process, your wireless client may indicate that the server certificate for EECS-Secure is presented by clearpass.EECS.Berkeley.EDU and issued by InCommon Certification Authority (2048).
