On July 30, Vanderbilt University will be changing its network authentication method. This change will affect VUMC users currently accessing the Wi-Fi network in VU buildings.
To ensure uninterrupted access, VUMC users must either utilize the Guest Network (VUGuest) or use their VU identity (VUnetID) for authentication on vuNet wireless network.
How to get the Service?
Internet & Network | VUIT | Vanderbilt University
- vuNet
vuNet is the network VU faculty, staff, and students should use for their desktops, laptops, tablets and phones. It requires a VUnetID and ePassword for access and is the most secure. Since the network is broadcast, devices will automatically see it when in range and will automatically connect once initially configured. For best results, use the wireless onboarding system found at wifi.vanderbilt.edu to connect to this network.
- vuGuest
vuGuest is an open network that requires the user to accept the terms of use for a 24-hour period of access. If the user needs another 24 hours of access, they will need to accept the terms of use again. The only reason a Vanderbilt user should use vuGuest is to run the onboarding process if their device has no other internet access. Vanderbilt users should use one of the other networks for their devices primary access method.
