*Depending on the Internet sites you plan to visit, you may need to download and install the [[iBoss Certificate]] on your device.
 
*iOS devices (iPhone) have a feature called 'Wi-Fi Calling' that uses an IPSEC VPN tunnel which gets flagged by our iBoss web content filter as a high-risk device.  The result is that your device will be temporarily blocked from reaching the Internet on our network.  Your experience on RPStaff might seem slow or spotty.  If you experience this, try turning off 'Wi-Fi Calling' on your iPhone.
 
**Go to '''Settings -> Cellular -> Wi-Fi Calling''' and switch off '''''Wi-Fi Calling on This iPhone'''''
 
*If you've recently changed your Active Directory password, you will likely have to forget the network from your device and reconnect.
