AU Wireless
Service Overview
AU Wireless is a broad wireless network that is available across the Auburn University campus. New coverage areas continue to be added and with the growth of technology, AU Wireless continues to become more accessible, reliable, and secure.
SSIDs and Authorization
Auburn currently broadcasts multiple SSIDs. Depending on your location and your primary role at Auburn University, one or more of these SSIDs will be available for you.
AU_WiFi
AU_WiFi is a WPA2-encrypted wireless network, which means traffic cannot be easily obtained as it passes from a user's computer to the wireless access point. AU_WiFi has 802.11n access points for high speeds.
AU_ResHalls
AU_ResHalls is the wireless network for devices that cannot connect to AU_WiFi. These types of devices are typically gaming consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation, Microsoft XBOX, and Nintendo Switch, but may include other types of devices, such as Smart TVs, DVRs, and home automation devices including Amazon Alexa enabled devices, Amazon Echos, and Google Home. AU_ResHalls access points are located in on-campus residential halls and are restricted by password access. Instructions for accessing AU_ResHalls can be found at https://aub.ie/reshalls.
AU_Open
AU_Open is a wireless network strictly for visitors to campus that need temporary WiFi access (30 days or less). Users for this network require an account sponsor to fill out the request form for a Temporary Account.
AU_Guest
AU_Guest is a publicly available resource that is managed and supported completely by Verizon Wireless.
eduroam
eduroam is the secure, world-wide roaming wireless access service developed for the international research and education community. eduroam allows Auburn University account holders the same access to the Auburn network while on the Auburn campus as AU_WiFi. Visitors to the Auburn campus from other participating institutions can connect to eduroam and receive an internet connection. Auburn University students and employees can also use the eduroam network at other participating institutions to receive an internet connection there, but will need to VPN to get to the Auburn network. Note: your login for this SSID is username@auburn.edu and your password.
