You do not have to waste valuable data on campus! Connect your phone to the campus Wi-Fi so you can automatically join the wireless network whenever you are within range.
| In order to access Canvas and other important resources, make sure that you are connected to the BYUI network, not the BYUI_Visitor network. For network security, the BYUI_Visitor network restricts access to some sites. |
| If you have recently changed your BYUI password and are having trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi, you will need to forget the BYUI Wi-Fi and reconnect. See Forgetting Wi-Fi for instructions. |
On an iPhone & iPad
1. Open Settings and tap Wi-Fi.
2. Select the BYUI network.
3. You will be asked to provide a username and password. Type in your BYU-Idaho username along with your password, then tap Join.
4. Tap Trust to finalize joining the BYUI network.

| Not all Android devices will be the same. These are general directions. If you have any issues connecting to the Wi-Fi on your phone, contact the I.T. Help Desk at 208-496-1411 or through their Live Chat. |

No Wi-Fi? Check if the Wi-Fi is on.
Check if your Wi-Fi is on by clicking the Wi-Fi symbol on your phone and finding the option to turn Wi-Fi on or off. If your Wi-Fi is not on, turn it on and try connecting to the BYUI network. Use the Connect to the BYU-Idaho Wireless Network section of this article if you need help.
You can also check for an external button that turns Wi-Fi on and off if you cannot locate a place to enable it in your phone settings.
How’s your network connection?
If you are having problems accessing the BYU-Idaho website or I-Learn, see if you are connected to the BYU-Idaho Visitor Wi-Fi. This network is intended primarily for ecclesiastical leaders serving on campus and does not give access to I-Learn, printers, and other services.
You can see which network you are connected to by clicking the Wi-Fi icon located on your phone. If you are connected to the BYU-Idaho Visitor Wi-Fi, disconnect by clicking the BYUI_Visitor option, then Disconnect.
Spotty Wi-Fi between buildings?
If you are having problems connecting to the campus Wi-Fi, your phone may be trying to connect to a network access point that is too far away. Disconnect from the Wi-Fi, then reconnect to the BYUI Wi-Fi network.
