This WiFi network is best used for computers you don't own, but need on the WiFi network for internet access.  This will require you to have a valid UCSBNetID Username and Password.

1. Join “UCSB Wireless Web” network
2. Open up an Internet browser and go to any webpage (you will be redirected to a log-in page)
3. Enter your UCSBNetID and password 

From there, you should be able to browse the internet.

This is the preferred way to connect to the Campus Network with personal devices or computers without having to constantly log onto the WiFi.

For first time setup on new computers or devices, it is recommended that they set up the device through the wireless setup page at https://setup.wireless.ucsb.edu/help/eduroam in order to get properly setup with certificates/access for their device.

Limitations

The WiFi Network is, like all other UCSB Data Networks, for authorized use only and you must abide by all applicable policies and laws.

Network Restrictions

The wireless network blocks port 25 (SMTP), so email clients trying to use said port will not function.

Other services may also be blocked for security reasons that originate from the Wireless Network, so you may required to use the Campus VPN in order to access on campus services.
