STUDENT

Secure Production Network

This is the network for the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) students. Use your medical center username and password to connect.

IQGUEST

Unsecured Guest Network

This is the Wake Forest Baptist Guest network for campus locations in downtown Winston, which comes in handy for personal device use.  This network is unsecured and an agreement page must be clicked through to join and utilize.

WFUBMCGUEST

Unsecured Guest Network

This the Wake Forest Baptist guest network for the Medical Campus (i.e. Hospital and clinics).  Its purpose and function is the same as IQGUEST.

**Wake Forest University advertises wireless networks downtown (production and guest) but they have an entirely different process for joining.  For best results please use the networks above.

**PA students who will attend Appalachian State will be oriented to their networks at the ASU orientation.
