How to Access Wireless

Access to the wireless network is restricted to students, faculty, and staff. You can connect using one of three networks:

• GUESTWifi-WUSTL (Instructions)
  
  Open, unencrypted access for University guests. No logon required, but only provides web access and has limited bandwidth.
  
  
• WUFI (Instructions)
  
  Unencrypted access for University staff, faculty, and students. You must logon via a browser after you connect. Protocols using clear text passwords are not allowed (Telnet, POP, SMTP, etc.)
  
  
• WUFI-S (Instructions)
  
  Secure, encrypted access for University staff, faculty, and students. You can setup your system to automatically logon when you connect. All protocols allowed.

We recommend that you use WUFI-S whenever possible. Select the appropriate link below for instructions. WUFI requires you to logon each time you access the wireless network. WUFI-S will logon automatically without being prompted to do so.

Coverage

Wireless network access is available in most locations around Washington University.

Other campus locations for wireless access can be found on the NTS Wireless page.
