Welcome to the University of Illinois! We're excited to have you with us for the 16th Annual Graduate Student Conference. To ensure you stay connected during your visit, here’s a guide to accessing our campus Wi-Fi network. If you encounter any issues or have questions, please feel free to contact our help desk at (217) 244-7000 or (800) 531-2531.

Temporary Wi-Fi Access for Visitors

The IllinoisNet_Guest network is designed to provide temporary Wi-Fi access for visitors and guests who do not have an Illinois account. This network allows you to register for internet access while you’re on campus.

How to Access Wi-Fi Without an Illinois NetID:

  1. Select the IllinoisNet_Guest network from your device’s Wi-Fi settings.

  2. A login screen should automatically appear. If it does not, open your web browser and try loading a website like illinois.edu to trigger the login page.

  3. Once the login screen appears, choose Guest Wi-Fi Access.

  4. Enter your name, phone number, and email address. After accepting the terms of use, click the orange Register button.

  5. Your email address will be assigned as a username, and a randomly-generated password will be provided. Record these details for your reference, then click the orange Login button.

  6. After a brief loading period, your device will be connected to the internet via IllinoisNet_Guest.

Guest Registration Details:

  • Access Duration: The guest registration is valid for 24 hours, expiring at 4:00 AM the next day. You can re-register for continued access each day.

  • Multi-Device Use: The username and password from your first registration can be used to sign in to IllinoisNet_Guest on other devices during the same 24-hour period.

We hope you enjoy your time at the conference! Should you need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to the help desk.
