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. |

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. |
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- enables you to remotely communicate confidentially over a public network to the Wake Forest Network. For example, your home internet connection and the Wake Forest network.
This solution provides a powerful solution for users who work off-site on a regular basis using assigned medical center assets remotely. It provides the same level of access to you as if you were connected at the office. The VPN client is desktop software that secures traffic between your remotely connected medical center device and the restricted medical center network.
** Please note: if doing a literature search where you want to save documents locally it is easier to go through the proxy server via the Library website wakehealth.edu/library - for more information http://libguides.wakehealth.edu/AC/off
To use VPN, your medical center device remotely you must (your student laptops and accounts meet these conditions):
The software required for VPN connection is “Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client” – referred to from this point on as “AnyConnect Client”. To begin your VPN session, launch the AnyConnect Client from your computers start menu under Cisco.
Verify the connection information is set to con.wakehealth.edu.
If it is blank or another entry is listed, type “con.wakehealth.edu”, this information will be saved upon successful connection for ease of future connection.
Verify in the dropdown box “vpn-anyconnect” is the selected option prior to providing any credentials. When prompted provide the following information:
The AnyConnect client will automatically be minimized upon successful connection.
To close this connection, click the AnyConnect icon located in the taskbar notification area (by the clock) and select the Disconnect option.
While you are connected via VPN connection your browsing habits, access levels, software access etc will function the same way as when sitting in the office.
