Connecting to RaiderNet-Wireless

Northwestern College uses a secure Wi-Fi authentication method called iPSK (Identity Pre-Shared Key). Unlike a shared password for everyone, iPSK gives each user or device a unique key tied to their identity. This allows for better security and easier network management.

Follow the steps below to connect your device to RaiderNet using your assigned iPSK.

🔐 Requirements

  • SSID: RaiderNet
  • Your iPSK: The default format for your iPSK is your campus username followed by a colon followed by your campus ID number. (e.g., john.smith:123456). You can find or change your iPSK under my account on this website.
