Guest Network Changes
New connection process for ECU guests launches Sunday, June 7
Good news! Beginning June 7, 2026, faculty and staff no longer need to request visitor credentials (sponsored account) for campus guests connecting to ECU’s Wi-Fi. Visitors will connect directly to the ecu-guest* wireless network for internet access and ECU public resources. Guest network will be available in residence halls.
The process is simple. Visitors to campus:
- Check their device for available networks.
- Join the ECU guest network (ecu-guest).
- View the Connection Successful splash screen. For most devices, the screen automatically pops up. Android devices request the Connection Successful screen.
- Select Continue to the ECU main website button (required).
- Receive access to the internet and ECU public resources only.**
- Are required to reconnect daily and view the Connection Successful splash screen.
- Call the IT Service Desk at 252-328-9866 for support.
Please Note:
*As with any public Wi-Fi connection, ECU’s guest network is an open, unsecure connection to the internet. It is for temporary visitors ONLY, and should never, under any circumstances, be used to conduct ECU business.
**Unpaid affiliate accounts are still required for users who need access to internal resources or VPN access.
