To access “HKU” WiFi, please check to make sure the Software Update of your iOS device can support WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1x authentication.

C. Security Note

  1. For better security protection, you are advised to change your HKU Portal PIN if you have not changed it for six months.
  2. After login to “HKU” WiFi successfully, the HKU Portal UID and PIN will be cached on the device which saves the effort of repeated inputs.  While it is convenient, this can also impose a security threat when your device is transferred to another person.  To clear a cached password, tap Settings Wi-Fi and tap eduroam_iOS_06 next to “HKU” WiFi network. Then tap Forget this Network.
