Register Other Devices

The WU-Aux wireless network is an encrypted network for game systems, smart TVs, and other devices that can't use the main registration system. It is available in Residential Living dorms and spaces, and you must have a Washburn account to use it.

Register your devices on WU-Aux by accessing the registration portal, wifi.washburn.edu, from any Internet-connected computer, tablet, or phone.

Visitors to campus who do not have a Washburn account can register on the WU-Visitor network. WU-Visitor uses the same encryption, but its access is limited to five days at a time and it allows access only to the Internet and public systems. 

If you have trouble registering for or using the Washburn secure wireless networks, contact ITS User Services at 785.670.3000.

1. Go to wifi.washburn.edu (typically from your smartphone or computer).

2. Accept the policies, click Students, Faculty, and Staff, and enter your washburn.edu e-mail address and password.

6. You'll see a screen with the passcode on it. Within a couple of minutes, you'll also get an e-mail with the passcode. This passcode will only work once, and it is registered to you. If you need to generate another passcode, start over at Step 1.
