The WSU Wireless network is simple, secure, and seamless:

  • Simple: Log in once and after that your computer or device will auto-connect to the network
  • Secure: Data is transferred securely so that others cannot intercept users private information
  • Seamless: All WSU campuses use this same network, so if users visit other WSU campuses will auto-connect there as well
