Norman Campus
If you are on the Norman campus and need to connect to Wifi@OU on your Android or Chrome OS device, please follow the instructions below:
- To begin, open your network Wi-Fi settings.
- On Android, go to Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi. A list of available networks should appear.
- On Chromebook, in the lower right corner, click the Wi-Fi button in the System Tray then choose Wi-Fi in the Network setting to view available networks.
- Now select WIFI@OU.
- Make sure the settings match below and then enter your OU username and password under Identity and Password. Leave the anonymous identity field blank.
- EAP Method: PEAP
- [EAP] Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2
- [Server] CA certificate: Do not check or Do not validate
- (Android) Domain: ou.edu
- Identity: Your OU Username (OUNet ID/OUHSC Username)
- Password: Your OU Password
- Anonymous Identity: Leave this blank
- If you have an option which asks "Allow other users of the device to use this network", make sure it is toggled to on.
- Now hit the Connect button.
If you had a connection in the past and are having issues connecting, you may wish to use the Forget this Network option, then attempt to set up the connection once again from step #1. Doing a network set up this second time after forgetting it may finally show the above "Allow other users of the device to use this network" option.
Device-specific notes:
HUAWEI
- Put the OU username in all caps under Identity.

Chromebook
- You may need to try connecting multiple times and/or exiting the setup and trying again.
Additional Notes and Troubleshooting:
- If you have attempted to connect to any other OU networks such as OUGuest, you will need to first "forget" that network before attempting to connect to WIFI@OU. For instructions on forgetting a wireless network, refer to the "Forgetting a Wireless Network" article.
- Some Android Phones may need to select Use Phone Mac Address or Disable Mac Randomization to connect.
- If you are able to connect to WIFI@OU but receive DNS errors from websites, please check Settings > Privacy and Security > Select the DNS Provider dropdown and change to Network default.
