The wireless network at NYU Law is part of NYU's campus-wide network. Most laptops and mobile devices can connect and authenticate to the 'nyu' network.
To connect, select the 'nyu' wifi network and enter your NYU NetID and password. If prompted, click Connect or Continue to accept the security certificate.
Note: Some devices are not compatible with NYU's wireless network because they do not support WPA Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise (e.g. Amazon Kindle, Google Chromecast). Those devices should connect to the nyu-media wifi network instead.
For more information about connecting your device to the NYU wireless network visit NYU IT's knowledgebase collection.
Troubleshooting Tips
Here are a few common solutions if you are having difficulties connecting to 'nyu'
- Have you activated your NYU account? If not, please head to start.nyu.edu and complete the registration process (it can take between 2-4 hours after registering or changing an NYUHome password to successful authenticate to 'nyu').
- Have you recently changed your NYUHome credentials? If so, you will need to enter your current password to connect.
- The majority of wireless issues can be resolved by removing 'nyu' as a known network and adding it again with the proper configuration by following the instructions below.
eduroam
NYU participates in the eduroam global wifi network for academic institutions. You can connect to the eduroam wifi network at any other participating institution with using your NYU credentials.
To connect:
- Select eduroam from the list of available wifi networks.
- Enter your NetID@nyu.edu (e.g. abc123@nyu.edu) and your NYU password.
Note: You should remove eduroam from your saved wifi networks before returning to the NYU campus or your device(s) may connect to that instead of the regular NYU wifi network which may limit your access to some online NYU resources.
