Ohio State is updating the security used to verify our eduroam Wi-fi network. For MITS-managed devices, no action is required—IT will re-onboard university devices for you. Requirements for other Ohio State provided devices may vary by department.
The time has come to say goodbye to osuwireless. On Sunday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 8, both at 10 p.m., osuwireless will be removed from select locations on Ohio State campuses in Columbus and Mansfield. The legacy Wi-Fi will be removed by building throughout the summer, targeting completion by August 2024. Visit wireless.osu.edu if you have not yet connected to eduroam.
As OTDI continues to streamline and enhance IT services at the university, we are working to improve the university Wi-Fi experience over the next couple of years by moving to the eduroam network and device-based authentication. We will simultaneously phase out osuwireless, with a targeted retirement date of Summer 2024.
