==Wireless networks==

Two wireless networks are available in most in-door areas on campus. We are working on extending the wireless coverage as use and demand has increased recently. If you find areas without coverage or with a weak signal, please contact us through [https://hjelp.uib.no/ UiBhjelp], or on phone 55584700.

===eduroam===

The eduroam network should be preferred for employees, students and guests from education institution in the [http://www.eduroam org eduroam collaboration]. We recommend eduroam because the communication is encrypted, more service are available, and the connection will automatically be available when visiting other eduroam institutions.

===uib-guest===

As the name indicates, this is a network for guests who do not have a user account at UiB or other eduroam institutions. The network allows connection without authentication and without encryption. To connect to the Internet you must identify yourself and log in using your mobile phone number and a password sent by SMS. You may also log in with UiB user name and password.

===Guest portal===

In several of our buildings, connecting a private computer to any network outlet will connect you to a closed network with no automatic connection to the UiB net or the Internet. If you try to load a web page, traffic will be redirected to a guest portal where you may log in using your username and password, or mobile phone number and a password sent by SMS.
