Wi-Fi & Networks

Stay connected on campus with seamless access to Wi-Fi and find support for data and voice networks with our telecommunications services. 

IU Secure will soon be retired across all campuses. Make the switch now to eduroam. If you are already using eduroam, you will need to authenticate via the new installer that offers enhanced security.

Wi-Fi for visitors from other institutions

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.

  • Wired connections

    To create a wired (Ethernet-connected) device, register with IU’s DHCP service. Typically, IU faculty and staff will already have their IU devices registered, but DHCP can help you register additional devices.

  • Connect off-campus with VPN

    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.

  • Wireless networks for IU departments

    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.

  • Data Center Proxy services

    Move your server to a private IP space and greatly limit possible attack vectors.

  • Guest Wi-Fi for IU visitors

    Guests visiting IU campuses can access Wi-Fi by using the IU Guest network. Select IU Guest from the list of available networks and follow the instructions on the IU Guest page that will open.

  • Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

    DHCP is a network protocol that enables your server to automatically assign an IP address to a computer.
