| − | Since the fall of 2008, there have been two wireless networks on campus. One network, called '''VT-Wireless''', encrypts all traffic and is secured with EAP-TLS or PEAP-MSCHAPv2. The other network, called [[VT_WLAN]]. In July, 2013 VT_WLAN was superseded by CONNECTtoVT-Wireless, is an unencrypted, captive portal wireless network designed to set up connecting to VT-Wireless. Internet access is not available on it. Connections to VT-Wireless are secure by default, and has one of two different methods to connect.

| − | The best option is [[EAP-TLS]], which provides strong, two-way authentication to ensure that neither you or the authentication server can be impersonated. Unfortunately, setting up EAP-TLS can be somewhat involved because it requires a certificate to be installed on the device.

| − | Using [[PEAP-MSCHAPv2]] is less secure as the authentication method can be broken with sufficient resources in a short ammount of time. However the authentication is encrypted and the encryption key is authenticated and it is significantly simpler to set up and use.

| − | CONNECTtoVT-Wireless is an unsecured captive portal wireless network. It is used for setting up VT-Wireless on your device. The network is locked down to only allow access to pages that help connect the user to VT-Wireless. It uses [[XpressConnect]].
