This page contains instructions for connecting personal devices to Suffield Academy's eduroam wireless network.
These instructions are intended for phones, tablets, and secondary computers. Primary Apple laptops should not be connected in this way. Consumer devices (speakers, lights, etc) may not work with these instructions. Please see our main Wi-Fi instructions if you are not sure which directions you should follow to connect your device.
To follow these instructions, please make sure that you have your Suffield Academy email and password.
Suffield Academy's primary wireless network is named eduroam. It uses a security feature called 802.1X which requires each user to log on using their own credentials (most home networks just use a single shared password for all devices). Because of this requirement, setup can be a little more complicated than joining a home network, and is different for different device types.
To help with the necessary settings, we use an external website called SecureW2, which has installers for different platforms (iPhones, Android devices, Windows, etc). Though the site is not run by Suffield Academy, we use them to distribute the wireless profiles.
Scan the QR code or follow the link below on your device to be redirected to a page where you can download the necessary configuration profile.
During the installation process you will be prompted to sign in to Suffield Academy using your Microsoft credentials (email and password). This is a required part of the process, and will only happen once as part of the initial installation. See below for specific platform notes.
You will need to log in with Microsoft and then click
Next, a configuration profile will be downloaded to your device. Once downloaded, the web page will show instructions to finish the setup proces.
You will need to trust the installation profile (there may be a warning about "Trusting Certificates" that you must approve), and possibly provide your device's PIN or password to finish the installation.
You will need to download and install the SecureW2 JoinNow App from the Google Play store when prompted. Open the SecureW2 JoinNow app and log in to Microsoft when prompted. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to finish the setup.
If you are having problems, see SecureW2's Android Guides for more details.
You will need to download an installer to your computer and run it. You will be asked to sign in with Microsoft as part of the process, and then the installer will finalize the settings on your computer.
