Get connected

Once you are on campus we recommend connecting your devices to our WiFi networks. There are a number of different networks in use on Oxford Brookes sites. See below for information about the options and how to get connected.

If you have any issues connecting to any of the below networks, please refer to the Wireless Networking guide for full instructions and troubleshooting.

Eduroam - the main WiFi network

Eduroam is the main Wi-Fi network for both staff and student use. It provides simple, easy and secure connectivity from thousands of hotspots across more than 100 countries. It means you will be connected to Wi-Fi whenever you are in range of any institution that uses it, not just Brookes.
