Android 11+ Devices only

These instructions are correct at time of writing for a Google Pixel running Android 11 and may vary slightly on your device.

If you are using Android 11 or newer, you will need to download a certificate before you can use school WiFi.

There is a limited access WiFi account you can use to download the certificate if you do not have a good mobile signal.

Go to your WiFi settings and connect to QueenMargarets with the password 39993999. This will connect you without internet access and your phone may complain about that - just ignore for now as you only need access to the QM network.

Download and Install the Certificate

If you haven’t already, download the BYOD WiFi Certificate from https://itlinks.queenmargarets.com.

Your phone may show some messages about how to install a WiFi certificate, or that the certificate has failed to install. Dismiss or ignore these messages for now.
