How do I connect to the campus WiFi?
Basically, connecting to BishopNet, our campus WiFi, is a two-step process:
- Select BishopNet from the list of available networks.
- Enter your OWU username and password, and
- Accept or trust the security certificate, if prompted.
- NOTE: Your device will likely tell you that, while you have a secure connection, you have no internet access–That’s OK!
- Before going to step #2, disable your cellular or mobile data. You just want to be connected to BishopNet–nothing else.
- Go to http://wifi.owu.edu, click on the “REGISTER this device on BishopNet WiFi” link.
- Enter your OWU username and password, and
- Either wait the 5 minutes, or disable your WiFi for 20 -30 seconds, then reconnect to BishopNet to allow it to obtain a full internet connection.
- You can now re-enable your cellular/mobile data connection.
If you are on an Android device, connect to BishopTest instead of BishopNet.
