3. Not connecting?
Work through these in order:
Confirm WiFi is turned on and you selected the correct network.
Check that your KAUST username and password are correct.
Turn WiFi off and on again, then restart your device.
Move closer to a WiFi access point for a stronger signal.
Try another device to confirm whether the problem is your device or the network.
Connected before, but not working now?
Forget the network and reconnect. Open your WiFi settings, select the network, choose Forget, then connect again. If you recently changed your KAUST password, this step is required.
