In the summer of 2021 the College upgraded its wired and wireless network and replaced BNCWifi with BrasenoseWifi. This upgrade came with several improvements including:
- One secure wireless password to connect all your wireless devices to the network.
- Personal VLANs: all devices you join to the Brasenose network are part of your own personal, secure private network and can communicate with each other – just like your network at home.
- Devices such as wireless printers, games consoles and smart devices (e.g. Amazon Echo) can now be easily connected to the network.
- The ability to add wired devices that do not have a built-in web browser (e.g. some printers and games consoles) to the network.
The guides linked below contain details of how to onboard your devices to the new wireless and wired networks – please read through the instructions carefully and follow all steps in the relevant section before requesting IT support.

Don't forget to set up more than one MFA authentication method for your Single Sign-On! If your phone is your only method and is lost, replaced or stolen, you could temporarily lose access to your account. Guides here: https://help.it.ox.ac.uk/mfa-setup-and-management
Key thing is to make sure you have a backup MFA method. If you are old enough to still have a landline then registering this is a good idea. https://twitter.com/ITBrasenose/status/1471431860836315137
