Connecting to WiFi in halls

Posted 1 day ago

Connecting in halls just got a whole lot easier

We have upgraded our WiFi services in halls to make it faster, more secure, and easier to connect your devices.

Please read the steps below to get set up once you arrive in halls.

Already living in halls? No worries – these steps will help you reconnect too.

If you already have an account with Glide, you should have received an email from Glide with your key (PSK) - this will have been sent to the email address the account is registered to.

If you didn’t receive an email, but have an account, click on the Glide_Signup network and go to my.glide.co.uk and click on the forgotten passkey reminder service.

Once you have got your PSK, go to step 3 below

Step 1: Connect to Glide Wi-Fi

  • Scan for available Wi-Fi networks and select Glide_Signup.
  • Open a browser and you will be re-directed to the Glide welcome screen.
  • Under “Just moved in?”, click on Register.

Step 2: Create account

  • Complete all fields and click Register.

Step 3: Connect to your secure network

  • If registration has been successful, a confirmation screen with your unique network passkey (PSK), will be displayed.
  • Click on the copy icon and go to your device’s network settings.
  • Forget the Glide_Signup Wi-Fi network and connect to the Glide_Resident network instead.
  • Paste your passkey in at the prompt and continue.
  • Once connected, you can get online.
  • You can use the same passkey to add further devices to your personal, private network.

HINT: Make sure you keep your passkey safe. This will also be sent to you via email and text message for your convenience.

Visitor access

  • Scan for available Wi-Fi networks and select Glide_Signup.
  • Open a browser and you will be re-directed to the Glide welcome screen.
  • Click on Visitor access.
  • Enter your name and email address and click Connect.
  • This will provide you with access for 24 hours, after this time you’ll need to re-register.
