Wireless Information

Samford-WPA2- This network requires you to authenticate by entering in your Samford User Name and Samford Password. By connecting to this wireless network you can reach the outside Internet.

ConfigSUWirless - This wireless network is for people who may have trouble connecting to Samford-WPA2. Its purpose is to help you get connected securely to Wifi on our campus. After connecting your device it will launch the XpressConnect client. If the client doesn't launch immediately just open your web browser. It will also ask for your Samford User Name and Samford Password. The XpressConnect Client will then automatically configure your device to connect to Samford-WPA2.

Take Note: Samford uses an enterprise class wireless network and not all devices support the type of authentication we use. Examples include certain e-readers, wireless printers, and netbooks running a Linux based OS. We suggest you ensure support for the WPA2 authentication method before purchasing a new device for on campus use.
