To connect your personal device, you will instead use the WPS_Personal SSID or Wi-Fi network. See instructions >> You may connect as many as 5 personal devices to the network. Be sure to forget the WPSWIFI network under Settings > Wi-Fi on your device.
Note: to be able to access SSL (https://) websites using our Wi-Fi, you must install the trust certificates available here >> You must install BOTH certificates! Then you need to search for the word TRUST in your Settings app or go to General > About > Certificate Trust Setttings. Tap on slider next to the WPSRCA certificate to trust it.
