What is SecureW2?

SecureW2 is Purdue’s method of quickly and easily configuring devices to connect to our Wi-Fi network. While you still will use your Purdue career account to authenticate into campus Wi-Fi, SecureW2 allows you to configure your device prior to coming onto campus, so you’ll be ready to go the moment you arrive.

The SecureW2 landing page should automatically detect the correct installer for your device. However, you may override the detected OS by the drop-down box or try the “Non-specific OS” option if your device type is not listed.

See this video for a sample walkthrough of configuring a Windows device
