Find instructions for connecting to our recommended secure Wi-Fi, eduroam, and guest Wi-Fi.
UB provides access via a browser for guests, or eduroam secure Wi-Fi for visitors from member schools.
Need UB's Wi-Fi for a presentation or event when you're out of range of Wi-Fi on campus or if you're off campus?
You can connect to administrative services using eduroam Wi-Fi. If you need a VPN client to access those services, you will still need a VPN client for 2-factor authentication.
This is usually due to interference that may occur from building walls, ceilings, metal, furniture, and even people. Moving your laptop closer to the nearest access point may improve your reception dramatically. If you continue to get poor signal, report the problem to the UBIT Help Center at 716-645-3542.
No, the connection speed on a Wi-Fi network can vary due to a number of factors, including: distance from a Wi-Fi access point; the number of simultaneous connections to a Wi-Fi access point; walls, metal objects, or other sources of interference and more. Wired connections are faster because you do not have to share bandwidth over your dedicated connection.
