Wireless access at IU

IU Secure: IU Secure is an IU wireless network
for Indiana University students, faculty, and staff that uses WPA2
Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access) for authentication. Using IU
Secure, you can securely access the Internet and IU services without
using a VPN connection. For more, see What is IU Secure?

Wireless card configuration: You'll need to
configure your computer's wireless card so your device can see IU's
wireless network; see Connecting to the wireless network at IUB or IUPUI in Windows XP or Vista or In Mac OS X, how do I configure my network settings to use my AirPort card?

operating system or device:
Wireless locations
Secure wireless access is widely available at IUB and IUPUI.
The IU Secure wireless network is available in all IU Bloomington and IUPUI dormitory residence halls (with the exception of Wright), along with the Campus View Apartments. If IU Secure is not yet available in your campus residence, you may operate a properly configured wireless access point (WAP) as an exception to the IT-19 Extending the University Data Network and IT-20 Wireless Networking policies from the University Information Policy Office (UIPO). Once IU Secure is available in your residence, this exception will no longer apply. You will then need to remove your WAP from the network. For details, see At IUB, if my residence hall does not yet have IU wireless network access, how do I configure a wireless access point?
Wireless for IU visitors
If you are visiting IU and need to access the Internet via your personal computer while on campus, you can get temporary wireless Internet access by obtaining a Network Access account. See Network Access accounts (guest wireless access) at IUB and IUPUI.
Note: Indiana University and Purdue University allow researchers and visitors wireless access to their own networks from each campus. For details, see Wireless access at Indiana University and Purdue University.
If you have trouble
If you have trouble connecting to IU's wireless network, contact your campus Support Center.
