Access to the CWI-WIFI network using a personal device will no longer be permitted as College of Western Idaho (CWI) Security Committee implements a new process to increase the College’s network security. 

The change will restrict all or personal devices to the CWI-PUBLIC network for their Wi-Fi connection. This restriction will help increase security, as it will remove unmanaged devices that could potentially pose a threat to the College’s network. 

For those who have not already, the Security Committee advises to begin connecting to CWI-PUBLIC for a Wi-Fi connection to help during this transition.

The change will take place on Monday, Dec. 19.  Those who encounter issues during this change are asked to contact IT Helpdesk [2] or call 208.562.3444 [3].
