Issue/Question
- How do I use the Visitor Wireless network at OSU?
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Wireless Network
- Visitors
Explanation
The Visitor network at OSU is provided through a partnership with an external Internet service provider. It is free for use and is intended for visitors from off-campus. OSU employees and students are encouraged to use the eduroam or OSU_Secure wireless networks instead.
Resolution
Connect to Visitor
- Once you have connected to Visitor open any web browser.
- If you don't see the Visitor sign-in page, try to go to any webpage (e.g. google.com) or open an additional tab and you should be redirected to the Visitor sign-in page.
- Select the Accept option.
- This should grant internet access on the Visitor network for about four (4) hours.
- After the four hours, repeating steps 1-4 will allow for an additional four hours of Internet access.
Additional Information:
- A login/agreement appears every four (4) hours.
- Capacity of this network is limited.
- OSU does not provide support for this free service.
- OSU does not guarantee that this free service will work for everyone; nor does the 3rd-party provider.
- This is NOT intended as a replacement for eduroam or OSU_Secure. It’s strictly a free service provided as a temporary convenience for visitors to OSU.
- This network will not be appropriate for anyone authorized to use our existing OSU networks.
