How-To-Connect to OnBoard@APU - Student (Android)

Open

To improve the user experience and enhance wireless security, we have replaced original wireless networks (Wireless@APU, BYOD@APU, Roam@APU and Staff@APU) with OnBoard@APU, which streamline the configuration process and works with all major OS platforms.

This article will highlight the steps to configure your Android device to connect to this new network.

Initial setup for OnBoard@APU

Step 1 - To start connecting to OnBoard@APU, turn on your Wi-Fi on your Android device and connect to the Onboard@APU network.

Step 2 - Open your Browser and enter https://onboard.apiit.edu.my. Once redirected to the website, Click Accept & Proceed.

Step 3 - In this page, select the network according to your situation. If you are:

You can access your control centre to confirm that you are connected to the correct Wi-Fi. You should see the Wi-Fi-connected is Staff@APU 2.0/Student@APU 2.0/Visitor@APU 2.0 and not Onboard@APU.
