Filed under Internet and Networks, Windows

Here are how the property settings should be set for the Microsoft Supplicant of Windows 7 to connect to the svvsd wifi.

Each checked, unchecked and radio button is important.

The initial properties Connection tab, confirm only the first check box is selected

For the Security tab make sure the drop down menus match above screenshot

Select the Settings button to open the EAP properties and unselect the “Validate server certificate”. Only have the “Enable Fast Reconnect” checked. Stay in this screen for the next step.

While still in the EAP Properties settings: Confirm the Authentication Method displays the “EAP-MSCHAP v2” then select the Configure button. In the EAP MSCHAPv2 properties uncheck the Automatically use my Windows logon.
NOTE: This EAP MSCHAPvs property is the setting that differentiates a stand alone computer from that of a Windows 7 computer bound to Active Directory. All other settings are the same.

Now work your way back to the Security tab by selecting OK in the EAP MSCHAPvs Properties, then OK For the EAP Properties.

Once back to the Security tab select the Advance Settings button confirming the above options checked and not checked.
