Students, faculty, staff, and affiliates have access to high-speed wireless internet on campus through eduroam, the new default wireless network for everyone. Connecting to eduroam is simple and secure, and available at no additional cost.
Watch these videos on how to securely connect to eduroam through IU PublicNet.
If you're visiting an IU campus from a partner institution, you can still join through eduroam using your home campus email address and passphrase, such as username@illinois.edu.

Protect your data while you are off campus by using a virtual private network (VPN) provided by UITS. This allows you to remotely join a safer, private network from a public network.
If your department would like to set up a mobile or temporary wireless network, UITS can help. You’ll need to request an exemption, then follow the instructions provided by your wireless device’s manufacturer to set up the network.
