These will be the same for the 4 main campuses, UNL, UNK, UNO and the Med Center.

Registering your WIRELESS computer or phone on Eduroam

Connect to the Nu-Guest wifi network. You should be directed to a page that looks like this:

  • Enter your username
  • Click 'JoinNow'
  • Your password will be your MyUNL/Canvas/Huskers email password
  • Your device will now prompt you to download an installer/profile and save it to your device.
  • You may need to accept the eduroam certificate, especially on phones.
  • For Macs, iPhones and iPads, you may have to manually move over to eduroam. You may also need to 'forget' NU-Guest network to keep your apple device from auto connecting to there again.

Additional instructions and help links available at Unified Network Overview

For wired computer connections, you will probably want to run this:

Wired Network Configuration Utility

Connecting an IoT device to nu-IoT.

You will need to find the wireless MAC address for your IoT device in order to 'create' it for nu-IoT connection.
Once you have that, go to https://its.nebraska.edu/network/iot
Follow the instructions there, this will create your IoT device registration and give you the password to log it onto nu-IoT.
The IoT device creation is good for one year.

You can manage/edit your IoT device yourself, based on your login, whenever needed.

Access to the Internet at the Residence Halls is free; however, you will need a network adapter (built into most computers) and software configured on your computer. There is also a Residence Hall Registration Database that controls access. You will need to register your computer the first time you access the network and periodically after that.

Residence Hall Network access:

All residents will have at least one network port active in their room by the first day the halls are open.

If you are having connection problems on a Windows machine, you may need to release and renew your IP address. See the Troubleshooting instructions for details.

Antivirus information:

Everyone is strongly encouraged to take the opportunity to install or update his or her antivirus software. Residents accessing the Internet from can download the Cortex XDR Anti-virus free of charge from http://antivirus.unl.edu/ If you have a trial version of Anti-virus, you do not need to pay to renew it, you have the option to un-install the trial version and download and install the University licensed version of Cortex.
