Internet Access

Grand Valley is updating the Wireless networks to simplify and give better performance for all users. The new and preferred networks are called:
GV-Faculty-Staff  -  For use by faculty and staff with network logins. No need to register devices or use Bluesocket.
GV-Student  -  For use by students with network logins. No need to use Bluesocket.
GV-Other  - For wireless devices that still use Bluesocket to get in. Primarily for older wireless devices that are not able to use the newer wireless setups. Details are in the Wireless Network pages below.

If you are having trouble connecting to the GV-Student wireless network, please try one of the following troubleshooting Guides.  If your Computer won’t work with GV-Student and you will have to use the GV-Other Wireless network; once you connect to GV-Other, open a web browser and you’ll be asked to enter your userid and password. If your computer won’t work with either network, than please contact us by emailing gvsuwireless@gvsu.edu (include GVSU email address, location(s), date & time(s) and a description of the problem). You can also call the CTS Help Desk at 616-331-2101 or stop by during normal business hours (207 Manitou Hall).
