IST is introducing secure wireless (Wi-Fi) access for the LUMS community which uses encryption mechanisms like WPA/WPA2 (supported by mostly Laptops).

Windows users will enjoy the benefit of single sign-on. Whenever you are in range of the LUMS wireless hotspot, your Windows computer will automatically sign you in (unless it is configured not to). Apple computer owners with AirPort Extreme wireless cards will benefit from the enhanced security that it offers. Furthermore, the device will put your computer in the correct network segment based on your credentials, for example, if you are a faculty member your laptop will connect to the faculty VLAN.

For more information about the LUMS wireless network, Please contact IST (Information Systems & Technology) Helpdesk.

To begin using the secure network, please read the section that matches the operating system of your laptop:
