BroncoFi is ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s wireless network for 'Internet of Things' (IoT) devices. IoT devices include AppleTV, Chromecast, PlayStation, Roku, Navori Digital Media Players, or Xbox.

Why do we need a separate IoT network? Some devices need to be connected to the network -- for example, gaming consoles and streaming devices -- but because they don’t have a browser, they can’t be on-boarded through the standard process. Device registration provides a way to enroll devices for wireless network access using the BroncoFi Wi-Fi network.

Students, faculty, and staff can register personal IoT devices for access to BroncoFi. Registration is limited to ten devices, and needs to be renewed after one year.
Quick Guide: Device Enrollment for Personal IoT Devices

Technical staff across ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ can register departmental IoT devices for access to BroncoFi. Registration is unlimited, and does not need to be renewed. To request this type of access to BroncoFi, or for assistance with bulk registration, contact the Technology Help Desk. (Note, student workers cannot be set up for this role.)
Quick Guide: Device Enrollment for Departmental IoT Devices

Important notes:

  • Do not use BroncoFi for computers, smartphones, or tablets. Use eduroam for these devices.
  • Do not use BroncoFi to connect a hub or other network device.
  • You need to know the MAC address for each device you will register.
  • You must be on campus to register your devices.

For help connecting to the wireless networks, please contact the Technology Help Desk.
