Wireless

If you have a wireless enabled device such as a laptop, tablet or smartphone you can connect to our  wireless network within most buildings across our campus, or you can enjoy the sunshine and connect in one of our many outdoor hotspot areas.

Common wireless devices will connect successfully using the following instructions.

  1. Open the WiFi settings on your device.
  2. Select the newcastle.edu.au option. Select CONNECT.
  3. Students: enter your Student-ID and myHub password (eg. c1234567)
    Staff: enter your Uni-ID and Internet password (eg. abc123)
  4. Select OK.
  5. After a few seconds, the status will show as connected.

Now, whenever you are within range of our wireless network, your device will automatically connect.
