Troubleshooting Tips
- Have you recently changed your K password? If so, don’t forget to update it in the Wi-Fi configuration on your device.
- Forgot your password? Complete the KNET Password Reset Request Form.
- Are you in a residence hall? Try connecting your device using an Ethernet cord.
- Sometimes using the Settings of your device to turn Wi-Fi off and back on resolves issues.
- Remove or forget the Wi-Fi network, then reconnect. Select one of the instructions below to forget a Wi-Fi Network
- Turn off MAC randomization. MAC randomization is incompatible with the KCollegeOpen and KSecure networks, and makes troubleshooting difficult on the eduroam network.
