SecureW2 JoinNow WiFi Configuration Utility

Last modified 2/12/2025

SecureW2 JoinNow is a cloud configuration service that enrolls and configures your smartphones, tablets, and laptops to the secure “sunset” or “eduroam” wireless network services for the current school year.

If you find yourself having to run the app multiple times, you may need to forget the “isunet-StartHere” which can be used to reach the utility when arriving on campus for the first time. Alternatively, you can set “isn't-StartHere” to not accidentally join the network automatically if the OS supports it. It can be useful if you need to run the app again the following school year.
