Brandeis University has an extensive wireless network. All wired campus buildings have complete wireless coverage. We have also installed wireless access points in many outdoor locations providing coverage between buildings and on the many open space green areas. This gives you the freedom to work where you want to, including a quiet spot behind a tree in Fellows Garden, or sitting next to the statue of Louis Brandeis. Wireless coverage in the Libraries allows for the freedom to move through the stacks with your laptop and maintain your network connection.
There are four wireless networks available on campus having the following SSIDs:
Instructions for your specific operating system
The wireless network will allow you to connect securely to our campus network. This will allow you to do all of the things that you would normally do with a wired connection. The connection is secured with the WPA2 enterprise specification. Your client adapter will need to support this. For more information, please click here to be taken to our Secure Wireless Connection page. Please be sure to check to see if you have a WPA2 enterprise supported adapter before calling the help desk.
If you already know how to configure your wireless settings, here is all you should need to know about the secure network:
