Students' devices and Lawrence owned devices connect to the LUwireless network. Students - you may also connect via "wired" from your residence hall room if you prefer. Click here for connection instructions.

Guests connect to the LUguest network but must request access via the Guest Wireless Access Form.
NOTE 1: If your computer is not already registered with Technology Services you will be redirected to our registration page automatically.
NOTE 2: Personal wireless access points are NOT permitted on the Lawrence network as they can interfere with the Lawrence wireless network. To ensure the proper functioning of the Lawrence wireless network, Technology Services will work to find and remove any sources of wireless interference.
Technology Services has created step-by-step instructions to walk you through the configuration process for connecting to the network, setting up a printer, and accessing your network spaces. Please read these important notes before you begin:
