Configuring UDel Secure in Windows 7 is slightly different than in previous Windows versions. UDel Secure is a wireless network that encrypts data between your computer and the wireless access point. Faced with the choice between UDel and UDel Secure, select UDel Secure due to the increased security it offers.
Before following the configuration directions for Windows 7, have your UDel NetID and password ready. If you have an older UDel NetID password–one that is not six to eight characters–you will need to reset it at the network page before you can access UDel Secure.
For more information on UDel Secure, visit IT’s site on how to configure your computer to use the UDel Secure wireless network or contact OET for assistance.

If you have tried unsuccessfully to access the UDel Secure wireless network with a properly-configured network connection, you may need to change your UDel NetID password.
Some OET clients have needed to change their UDel NetID passwords to meet current requirements before connecting to UDel Secure. An indication that you may need to change your password is that your computer does not connect to UDel Secure after enter your user name and password in the UDel Secure Enter Credentials box.
Passwords must be six to eight characters in length and must not contain dictionary words. To change your UD NetID password, log into the UD network page.
