If this does not work, it's possible you have an older phone that is not compatible with the Rice Owls 5GHz network. If you cannot connect to Rice Owls, try the Eduroam network.  For Eduroam, login with your NetID@rice.edu  email address and your NetID password. Eduroam is compatible with older 2.4GHz WIFI devices.
