Step-by-step instructions on how to connect to Stevens-Net, the Wi-Fi network on campus for Linux/Unix computers. 


Before you start

  • Some devices running Linux/Unix may need to be configured manually to connect to the Stevens-Net network.
  • For best Wi-Fi connectivity, we recommend that you install the latest version of Linux/Unix Operating System.


Step 1: Select Stevens-Connect from the available Wi-Fi networks on your device, a portal will pop-up automatically. If it does not visit stevens.edu/connect.


Step 2: Ensure that the 'Select your device' drop down shows the correct Operating System, then select Join Now.



Step 3: When prompted download the SecureW2 application called "SecureW2_JoinNow.run". Select the Save File option then select OK.



The file will begin downloading.



Step 4: Open the Terminal application and navigate to the Downloads folder by typing in "cd Downloads" and press Enter. 


Step 5: Once on the proper folder, type in "sh SecureW2_JoinNow.run" and press Enter to run the script file. 



Step 6: Press Enter to be prompted to authenticate. Enter your Stevens username and password to authenticate with Single Sign-On (SSO) and select Sign In.  



Step 7: Once you have authenticated, the script will continue and complete the installation process.



Step 8: Once the script is finished, your device should automatically connect to Stevens-Net.
