Connecting to CUWifi (insecure, guest)

This network is not encrypted and does not require authentication, though it is firewalled from servers and services at Creighton that are not web-based.  For example, you should still be able to access the NEST or Blueline/Blueline2, though you will not be able to connect to albatross.  CUWifi is the preferred mechanism for temporary guest access directly to the internet.

To connect to CUWifi, simply select the SSID "CUWifi" from your device's list of available networks.  As long as your device is 802.11a/b/g/n capable, it should be able to connect.

Gaming Consoles

If you have a mobile device or gaming console that has a wireless card, but does not support WPA and 802.1x you will need to contact the Student Service Desk to register your device and to get the connection information.  The Student Service Desk can be reached at 402-280-1111, option 2 or by emailing doit4students@creighton.edu.
