WolfieNet
WolfieNet-Secure is Stony Brook University's recommended wireless network on West Campus, Southampton, Manhattan, and parts of East Campus. It is available to all faculty, students, and staff. New locations continue to be added as wireless technology and equipment continues to be upgraded and enhanced in order to handle the growing number of devices seeking to connect to the network. For visitors to the University, WolfieNet-Guest is the recommended network to use.
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing our campus community with secure, high-performing wireless connectivity, Stony Brook University is refreshing our on-campus Wi-Fi. Beginning July 22, 2026, Eduroam will become our primary wireless network, replacing WolfieNet-Secure. At that time, all WolfieNet-Secure content will be removed from our IT websites.
Eduroam is already available at all Stony Brook University locations, including Southampton. Beginning July 22, 2026, Stony Brook Hospital and other East Campus locations will also transition to Eduroam.
Additional information and instructions for connecting to Eduroam will be shared with the campus community on June 22, 2026.
