Connect to UIndy WiFi

UIndy provides a number of WiFi networks: UIndyGuest, UIndy, and UIndySecure. Because the UIndyGuest network limits access to some UIndy services, UIndy faculty, staff, and students should use the UIndy or UIndySecure networks instead.

UIndy offers a secure WiFi network, UIndySecure, to all UIndy faculty, staff, and students. UIndySecure is encrypted, so UIndy IT encourages all clients to use the UIndySecure network.

The following devices are not supported on the UIndy network: wireless printers, personal routers, access points, and Google Chromecast.

UIndySecure WiFi

Why use UIndySecure WiFi?

  • To take advantage of authentication and encryption technologies, ensuring that only authorized clients can use the WiFi.
  • To ensure that the connection between your wireless device and the website you are on is secure. Some unsecured websites could be vulnerable to cyber attacks, and using an encrypted WiFi connection adds an additional layer of security.
