Wireless Connection

ITS operates over 7,500 access points on the academic and residential sides of campus. We provide Wi-Fi 802.11 AC operating on 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrums. Users have three available wireless networks that devices can connect to:

• eduroam - RIT's preferred network for RIT community members and visitors from other eduroam participating institutions. 
• RIT-WiFi- For devices that do not support WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X Authentication).
• RIT-Guest - RIT's Guest Network for Visitors (Access to RIT Network Services are limited).

Most users connecting from Windows, macOS, or Linux should connect to eduroam. You can connect by visiting rit.edu/wifi. Game consoles and media streaming devices usually do not support WPA2-Enterprise. These devices will have to be manually registered on start.rit.edu and use wireless network RIT-WiFi.

Students are not allowed to host their own wireless networks. For more info, click here.
