BGSU Wireless Networks
The recommended network for all BGSU faculty, staff and students is eduroam (for general internet use). The eduroam network encrypts all traffic and keeps the user logged in indefinitely, or until they change their BGSU password.
Please use the tabs below to determine which network is best suited for your needs.
eduroam is a secure, global wireless network access service created specifically for the research and education community and is the recommended wireless network for use with computers, smart phones and tablets for all BGSU faculty, staff and students.
Authenticate using your BGSU email address and password and you can stay logged into the network indefinitely (or until your BGSU password changes). This network is extremely safe and secure, and encrypts all traffic.
Eduroam also allows users from participating academic institutions to securely access the internet at any other eduroam participating locations.
Visitors to our campus from participating organizations can log on to BGSU's wireless network while on the BGSU campus by searching for wireless networks and selecting the available eduroam option. They will be prompted to login using their home institution's email address and password.
