How do I connect to BC-WiFi on Android devices?

Connecting to Brooklyn College WiFi may vary depending on your phone model and Android version.


Option 1: Using the BC-WiFi Network (Preferred)

The BC-WiFi network is the preferred option since it uses newer WiFi technology and is faster.

  1. Open your phone’s Wi-Fi settings
  2. Select the BC-WiFi network
  3. Enter the following configuration options:

EAP method:TTLS

Phase 2 authentication: PAP

CA certificate: Trust on First Use
NOTE: Some devices do not have this option. Instead select “Do not validate”.

Domain (if requested): bcwifi.brooklyn.cuny.edu

Identity: your BC WiFi username

Password: your BC WiFi password

You can find your BC Wi-Fi username and password in WebCentral under My Info > BC WiFi (Students). Learn more.


Option 2: Using the BC-WiFi-Legacy Network

If you are unable to connect to the BC-WiFi network (option 1 above), you can use the older BC-WiFi-Legacy network that is slower, but has broader compatibility with more devices.

  1. Open your phone’s Wi-Fi settings
  2. Select the BC-WiFi-Legacy network
  3. Enter the following configuration options:

EAP method:PEAP

Phase 2 authentication: PAP
