VT Open WiFi helps the Virginia Tech friends and family connect quickly and easily.

In July 2024, the Division of IT’s Network Infrastructure & Services team launched VT Open WiFi, a new guest network that removed the need for users to enter credentials. Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff can also use VT Open WiFi to connect smart devices without needing to register them ahead of time. The new network option not only provides a simpler experience for users, but provides considerable savings to the university by reducing administrative demands and time spent responding to support calls while simultaneously lowering operating costs.
