Welcome to OSU Wireless

The Ohio State University provides wireless data network services for OSU students, faculty, staff, and guests. The wireless network is designed and maintained by the Office of Information Technology.

Two primary wireless networks have been made available:

• osuwireless, an encrypted network for students, faculty, staff.
• osuguest, an unencrypted network for sponsored guests to the university; it is NOT a public network

Both wireless networks require authentication in accordance with the OSU Wireless Policy. All access points support 802.11g and 802.11a standards.

Currently there are 4300+ access points deployed throughout the OSU Columbus, Mansfield, Newark and Wooster campuses. These access points provide coverage in select locations. The build out of wireless on all campuses will continue as additional requests from university departments and colleges are received and processed. Check the coverage map for information concerning locations where osuwireless is accessible.
