The IU Secure wireless network
You'll need to first configure your computer's wireless card so your device can see IU's wireless network; see IU Secure wireless connections: Windows; you'll need to configure your Mac OS computer to use the AirPort card.
See Apple support.
Note: To gain full Internet access for your device on the IU network, you need to register the device's MAC address. Before doing so, your device will not receive an IP address that allows a successful Internet connection.
Wireless for IU visitors
- Visitors to IU (e.g., parents, event attendees) can use the AT&T wireless service free of charge on all campuses. See How can IU visitors connect to AT&T wireless free of charge?
- Visitors from eduroam member institutions can connect to the "eduroam" wireless network on the IUB and IUPUI campuses. See About eduroam at Indiana University.
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.
Wireless networks for departments
For details, see At IU, how can my department set up a wireless network?
Wireless locations on campus
Wireless access is widely available on IU campuses.
The IU Secure wireless network is available in most IU Bloomington and IUPUI campus residences. You may operate a properly configured, FCC-approved wireless access point (WAP) as an exception to the Extending the University Data Network (IT-19) and Wireless Networking (IT-20) policies from the University Information Policy Office (UIPO) only if your residence is listed at Wireless Networking: Temporary Exception 2 (ITE20-02). Once IU Secure is available in your residence, this exception will no longer apply and you will need to remove your WAP from the network. See At IUB, if my campus residence does not yet have IU Secure wireless network access, how do I configure a wireless access point?
