Create a Windows WiFi Configuration Policy

You can configure a wireless network for your Windows devices using this policy. The device must be enrolled in JumpCloud MDM. This policy works on devices running Windows 10/11. 

Note:

This policy only supports WiFi networks configured with pre-shared key (PSK) authentication.

For WiFi networks configured with WPA2 Enterprise (for use with JumpCloud RADIUS, for example), see Configure your WiFi Clients to use RADIUS and Configure EAP-TTLS/PAP on Windows for RADIUS.

To create a Windows WiFi Configuration policy:

  1. Log in to the JumpCloud Admin Portal.
  2. Go to DEVICE MANAGEMENT > Policy Management.
  3. In the All tab, click (+).
  4. On the New Policy panel, select the Windows tab.
  5. Select WiFi Configuration policy from the list, then click configure.
  6. In the SSID field, enter the name of the wireless network for SSID.

Important:

The maximum length of an SSID can be upto 32 characters. Spaces within the SSID are counted as three characters each. For example, an SSID like "My Network" would use 11 characters (8 for "MyNetwork" and 3 for the space - considering space as %20).

  1. In the Encryption Type field, select the type of encryption used by this network:
    • “OPEN”: “open”
    • “WPA2-AES”: “WPA2 Personal AES”
  2. In the Password field, enter the WiFi network password.
  3. Select Auto-Join to determine whether the device will automatically join the network.
  4. Select Hidden Network to determine whether the network is shown in the list of available networks.
  5. Click Save. If prompted, click Save again. No further action is needed for this policy to take effect.
