Step 6 — Troubleshooting Tips⌛ ~5 min
If you are having trouble connecting to NEO_Guest, try these common fixes:
- Network not appearing: Toggle Wi-Fi off and back on, then wait 10 seconds for networks to refresh.
- Wrong password error: Double-check that you are entering Neoguest exactly as shown — the password is case-sensitive.

- Weak signal: Move closer to a Wi-Fi access point. Access points are located throughout campus buildings.
