Rovernet 2.0 is a Michigan Tech WPA Enterprise Solution that offers students, staff, and faculty greater flexibility and security when accessing the campus wireless network. The “MichiganTech” and "MichiganTech-Mobile" (SSIDs) are only accessible via WPA Enterprise (PEAP) authentication. Once authenticated, the traffic is encrypted. To obtain access to this encrypted network, wireless clients will be required to configure their devices for WPA/WPA2 authentication.

Why Rovernet 2.0?
The original Rovernet "MTU" Wireless Network is an open network where you gain access by logging into a captive portal every time you need to connect to the wireless network. It is primarily designated for guests of the university and for students, staff and faculty who have devices that do not support the Rovernet 2.0 WPA technology.

While security provisions are limited with the Rovernet “MTU” SSID, the new Rovernet 2.0 “MichiganTech” and "MichiganTech-Mobile" SSIDs support WPA/WPA2 (PEAP) authentication. Once authenticated, all traffic is encrypted. In addition to being more secure, the new service is easier to use and eliminates you having to login every time you connect to the wireless network.
