Setting up Android 2.x or above Device to Access sMobileNet

This page provides sample instructions for HKUST Staff & Students in setting up Android 2.x or above devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) to connect to sMobileNet. This is a general guideline as different brands may have widely different network configuration steps and from past experience may change from generation to generation.

Android 1.x devices are NOT supported - please consider upgrading to Android 2.x. In our experience almost all Android 1.x devices do not have the interface to configure WPA-enterprise / WPA2-enterprise required in sMobileNet.

In general, we recommend upgrading to the latest Android OS version to get the smoothest surfing experience, please check your device's documentation on obtaining / installing updated software.

Users are recommended to use the Wi-Fi Services Advisor if they are not sure which Wi-Fi service should be used.
