Wi-Fi Access for Guests/Visitors


Wireless Network Access Options for Guests/Visitors

The following policies apply to UW guest/visitor use of all UW wireless network services:

 

eduroam Wireless Network at UW

UW-IT strongly recommends use of the secure, encrypted eduroam wireless network when visiting a UW location.

Guests/visitors who use an eduroam service at their home institution should use the same credentials to connect to eduroam at UW. If your device was configured before leaving your home institution, it should automatically connect to eduroam at UW once your credentials are entered.

If your device was not configured for eduroam at your home institution, you may try to use your home institution configuration process via a 'guest connect' on the University of Washington SSID network. If you have problems related to eduroam, please contact your home institution support staff for assistance.

In addition to UW's policies, the following also apply to visitors' use of UW eduroam:

 

Husky Guest Wireless Network

Once the Husky Guest wireless network is selected, the device is automatically connected to the network. There is no session time limit. Use is limited to web browsing. This 5Ghz-only service is secure and encrypted with Opportunistic Wireless Encryption ("OWE").
