Get Connected
Duke provides a separate, low-bandwidth network for visitors. Because the visitor network does not require NetID registration, the service eliminates the need to issue temporary NetIDs to visitors requiring network connections. The visitor network is not as robust as the “Dukeblue” network; visitors will be able to use it primarily for web surfing and connecting via virtual private network back to other secure networks. The visitor network will not allow access to many services available through the “Dukeblue” network. If you have questions about Duke’s wireless networks, please contact the OIT Service Desk.
To Connect:
- Open your network preferences and look for a network called "DukeVisitor," which should be available to you across campus. Select this network.
- Open a browser. You should see the "welcome" message pertaining to the visitor network.
- Click Continue to connect to your normal start page.
- Note that the network cuts you off automatically after an hour of inactivity.
