How to connect an iPhone or iPad to the UWL-Eagle WiFi.

You will need your UWL NetID and password to complete these steps. If you don't have your NetID yet, visit the NetID and Password Setup article first.

  1. Find and open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad — it looks like a gray square with gears on it. Once you're in Settings, tap Wi-Fi.
