About UB's Network

Internet access is provided to all UB students, faculty, and staff.

You can connect securely to the UB network with a Wi-Fi connection, a wired connection from offices and residence halls, and from off-campus. Learn about the different ways you can connect to the UB network, then see how to connect with your device.

UB Secure Wi-Fi

UB Secure is the recommended, secure access choice for UB's campus network. Your UBITName and password and all data transmitted from your device to the wireless access point (the campus network) are encrypted.

UB Wireless Wi-Fi

The UB Secure network is your preferred on-campus Wi-Fi service.

UB Wireless is an on-campus non-secure choice. You should only connect to UB Wireless when you need to connect to the UB Network and you cannot configure your device for UB Secure.

You must authenticate with your UBITName and password after connecting when you browse or connect to a new location.

UB Guest Wi-Fi

The UB Guest Wi-Fi service is for UB guests and visitors only. Guests and visitors can access the network by logging in with any email address. Wi-Fi service is limited and unprotected.

Residential Network (ResNet)

ResNet allows you to connect to the UB Network from within UB residence halls and campus apartments using a wired Ethernet connection.

Wired Access Using OpenPorts

OpenPort is an access method at UB to connect to the UB Network using publicly accessible network jacks and Ethernet cabling.
