iPhone Wifi Network Login Connundrum


[disclaimer: both of devices running ios 8.1]

work @ university , using iphone 6 & ipad 2 day long. @ university, wifi network requires entering faculty/student id/password. after putting in combo, ipad stays connected or reconnects without issue building building, day day.

however, iphone continually disconnects me (after seemingly brief period of inactivity), , have to, again, put in credentials. record, have auto-join , auto-login enabled.

thoughts? ideas? suggestions?

thanks!
 

does ipad have 802.1x certificate installed? universities use automatic authentication/connect wifi networks. phone might missing certificate.

can check going ipad's settings , tap "general," scroll down "itunes wifi sync" displayed. underneath that, there should vpn option, followed "profile." if it's installed, you'll either see name of university network, or more generic (like "cisco" or similar).

unfortunately, certificates don't transfer between devices. you'll need talk university's department steps need take install on phone (usually involves going special website , following few steps).
