Google Wifi Help

GoogleWiFiSecure is available in the exact same areas as the existing GoogleWiFi network. If you are currently using GoogleWiFi, and your device supports the WPA or WPA2 protocol, you can use GoogleWiFiSecure by making the configuration changes described below.

Before disconnecting from GoogleWiFi, you must obtain your 802.1x username and password (this is different from your Google Account login information). To obtain a username and password for the GoogleWiFiSecure service, please ensure that you are connected to GoogleWiFi and then visit: https://wifi.google.com/prefs

Please note that you will need to click the link 'Show' in the 802.1x Settings section, as displayed below:


After receiving a username and password for GoogleWiFiSecure, you are ready to create a new profile in your network connections manager. Please note that you will not see the SSID 'GoogleWiFiSecure' while viewing available networks. (why?)

To connect to GoogleWiFiSecure, create a new network connections profile with the following settings:

SSID: GoogleWiFiSecure (case-sensitive)

WPA/WPA2 Settings
EAP type: EAP-PEAP or EAP-TTLS
Encryption method: AES (preferred) or TKIP
Authentication Protocol: MS-CHAP-V2 or CHAP
Trusted Server Name for Authentication: onex.wifi.google.com

Under the 802.1x settings be sure to enter the username and password that you obtained earlier.
