Issue
- I can't see the OSU_Access network in my dorm.
- I can't see the OSU_Access network in another OSU building.
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Resident student
- Student or Employee on-campus
- Wireless connection
Cause
As part of an effort to secure OSU's network, OSU will be gradually decommissioning the unsecured OSU_Access wireless network.
On September 4, 2018, OSU_Access was turned off in the following buildings:
- UHDS facilities (includes all dorms on the Corvallis campus)
- Athletics facilities
- Kerr Administration
- Snell Hall
- Jefferson Street Building
- University Plaza
- Milne Computer Center
- Student Experience Center (SEC)
- Beth Ray Center
- Memorial Union
- Learning Innovation Center (LINC)

Resolution
-
Connect to either the eduroam or OSU_Secure networks instead.
-
Use a wired connection for devices that cannot connect to eduroam or OSU_Secure.
-
Both eduroam and OSU_Secure use "Enterprise WPA" to authenticate. The device you connect with has to be able to provide both your username and password in order to connect.
-
If your device does not have a wired network jack, use an adapter (such as a USB to RJ45 adapter).
-
Wired connections are available in the dorms upon request and require registration. See: https://uhds.oregonstate.edu/resnet/get-connected
-
If your device cannot connect to eduroam, OSU_Secure or the wired network, you can use Visitor. Note that the Visitor network is not a secured network and is not recommended for OSU students and employees. You can encrypt your wireless connection by connecting to the OSU VPN while on Visitor.
