To begin connecting your wireless devices to the network you must first generate your unique Dynamic Pre-Shared Key – this is a single, secure key that you can then use to key any of your wireless devices to BrasenoseWifi.

To generate your key, you can either:

A. Visit https://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/MyNetwork from any device with an internet connection. This can be done from anywhere – even from home! Once the page has loaded, continue to step 1 of this guide.

OR

B. While in College, connect to the onboarding network using a phone/laptop. Look for an open wireless network called BNC-Onboarding and connect to it (no password is required).

Open a web browser on your device and you will be automatically redirected to the onboarding page. If you are not redirected straight away, please try navigating to any website (e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk) and you will be redirected to the page shown in step 1 below.

Step 1

Read and agree to the terms and conditions, and then click Start:

Step 2

On the next page, select University of Oxford Single Sign On:

Step 3

You’ll be prompted to enter your SSO username on the next screen. Please enter your username in the format abcd1234@ox.ac.uk where abcd1234 is your Oxford SSO username:

Click Next and enter your password – this is the same password you use to log into your work email account. Next, click Sign in and authorise any prompts you receive for multi-factor authentication (MFA).

If you receive your MFA prompt via a push notification from the Microsoft Authenticator app you may need to open the app for the notification to appear.

Step 4

Once you’ve logged in successfully you will be given the option to set up a Wi-Fi connection or a wired connection. Select Wi-Fi connection:

On the next screen you will be provided with your personal Wi-Fi code. This can be used to join all your wireless-enabled devices to the network:

This key will be sent to your University email address for your records. We strongly recommend that you save this email in a subfolder of your mailbox so you can quickly refer to it the next time you need to connect a device.

Please note that your wifi key is unique to you and must never be shared with anyone else – you are liable for any unauthorised network activity that takes place over connections made using your credentials.

Step 5

Disconnect from (and forget) the BNC-Onboarding network and connect to BrasenoseWifi using your newly generated key.
