How can I connect to the Wi-Fi network?

A public wireless network called YaleGuest has limited network access and is available for anyone’s use. Due to security reasons, certain programs and functionality may not be accessible via the YaleGuest network; e.g. Dropbox, Skype, and printing at 28 Hillhouse.

Another option is the Eduroam wireless network. Eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, world-wide roaming access service that allows students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to obtain Internet connectivity across campus and when visiting other participating institutions.

If your institution is a partner, access the Eduroam network by selecting Eduroam from the Wi-Fi list on your mobile device and sign-in using your home institution’s credentials*. View Eduroam’s complete listing of U.S. participating schools; International visitors can look for institutional listings on this country page.
