Wireless Network
Find out more
IT Services provide several wireless networks at Loughborough University. Each is intended for a specific purpose or customer group:
-
lboro
This is our preferred wireless network for Loughborough University staff and students. It offers the highest levels of security and network access equivalent to a traditional wired network connection. Instructions for connecting your wireless device are available at www.lboro.ac.uk/it/wireless/connecting.html. We recommend that you use lboro if your equipment supports it.
-
lboro-web
This wireless network is suitable for all devices, but offers only limited network access. You do not require any special settings or software to use the lboro-web network, but will only be able to use it for casual Web browsing. When you begin your lboro-web session, you will be required to supply your Loughborough University user name and password. We expect to withdraw lboro-web in time, as older devices that do not support lboro are replaced or upgraded. You should take care to study our Wireless Best Practice Guide www.lboro.ac.uk/it/wireless/best-practice.html when using lboro-web.
You will also see other wireless networks available around the University:
