This article covers how to connect to LetNet wireless using Windows 8.
To connect to LetNet wireless your computer must have a wireless adapter that supports connections via Protected EAP (PEAP) security.
Some computers may have a built-in third-party wireless utility that controls your computer's wireless connections. We do not support how to connect through this software. Please disable any third-party wireless management utilities and follow these instructions to use Windows 8.
General Security Settings:
SSID: letnet (must be all lowercase)
Network Authentication: WPA2 (Enterprise)**See Special Note**
Data Encryption: AES
Authentication Type: PEAP
802.1X: Enabled
OLDER LAPTOPS AND DEVICES (if your device does not support WPA2/AES):
SSID: letnet-legacy (must be all lowercase)
Network Authentication: WPA (Enterprise)
Data Encryption: TKIP
Authentication Type: PEAP
802.1X: Enabled
**Special Note**
Some Windows 8 clients may not be able to connect to the letnet wireless SSID
Workaround
1. Connecting to letnet-legacy should work, provided you are using WPA/TKIP.
2. Use a Windows 7 wireless driver instead.
