Bradley University offers wireless networking for faculty, staff, students and guests.

Wireless networking is by nature a shared medium, and inherently less secure than traditional wired networking.   Please keep this in mind while choosing how to use the wireless network.

Following are instructions for using Bradley's broadcast wireless network (BUwireless) and information on configuring your wireless on a secure network - Aeris. 

  If you currently use Aeris, do not select the broadcast BUwireless.
