How to Connect
The new wireless system no longer requires each wireless device to be registered in the Eastman Computing Services office, but will enable you to connect to the wireless system from any device with the use of your NetID and password. The UR Wireless network can be accessed by using UR_RC_Internal and UR_RC_InternalSecure. We encourage you to use the UR_RC_InternalSecure connection if your computer is able to connect with WPA. The UR_RC_InternalSecure network provides security for your information while the UR_RC_Internal leaves your data out in the open. When you first connect to the UR_RC_InternalSecure network, you will be prompted to enter a wireless security encryption key. When prompted, enter URWireless. After connecting to the network and opening a web browser (such as Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Internet Explorer), you will be redirected to the URWireless Acceptable Use Policy. You will need to enter your NetID and password (this is the account used for PeopleSoft, VPN, and student e-mail) in order to join the wireless network. Entering your NetID and password is required each time you connect ot the wireless network. Step-by-step instructions for connecting can be found at http://www.rochester.edu/it/wireless.

Guest Access
Guests who need access to the wireless network will need to be sponsored by University staff, faculty, or students. Please note that the request for a Guest NetID should be filled out prior to campus arrival. You should not provide a guest with your NetID and password as this info can be used to access your HR data. Information on the Guest NetID program for accessing the UR Wireless network is available at http://www.rochester.edu/it/netid/guest_netid.html.

We look forward to further expanding our wireless coverage in the future. Please feel free to contact Eastman Computing Services at 274-1160 for support or questions with the new wireless network.
