Guests of a member of staff at Bristol

Wireless is available to guests of a member of staff at Bristol. The host at Bristol must request a username and password for each visitor. Please refer to your host or the Bristol VisitorNet pages.

External customers booking meeting rooms at the university

Wireless Internet is available in some rooms using the Bristol VisitorNet service. Please enquire when making your booking.

Members of the public using bars and coffee shops

Unfortunately we cannot currently provide ‘free Wi-Fi’ style access for the public, e.g. in university coffee shops, or for people just walking across the campus. We are considering ways in which we could provide this in future, perhaps in partnership with a third party.
