Networks at Bethel
Bethel: This is our primary wireless network at Bethel. You will need a Bethel account with an active Faculty, Staff, or Student role in order to login with your Bethel Community Account username and password.
Bethel eduroam: This is a "network" that our Bethel provided Windows laptops will connect to automatically without a username/password. It will only appear on these devices and is not a usable network aside from this purpose.
Bethel-Guest: This is the guest/open network on campus. When this network is selected from a device a splash screen will appear (similar to connecting at an airport, coffee shop, or hotel). Use this network if you are a visitor of Bethel or are using a device that is not capable of 802.1x authentication. Not all devices can authenticate to Bethel-Guest on their own. Devices like smart TVs, video game consoles, Roku, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire Sticks will need to registered first before connecting to this network. Instructions can be found at this Confluence article: Device Registration Portal.
Ethernet: This is a direct connection to our network using a Ethernet cable from a wall port or VoIP desk phone to the computer. For Dorm Port Activations see this Confluence article: https://betheluniversity.atlassian.net/wiki/x/VzP7Ag
