Connect to Your Office Wi-Fi
Overview
Your office has a private staff Wi-Fi network and, in most cases, a separate guest network for visitors. This guide shows you how to join the staff network on a company laptop or your phone.
Before You Begin
- The name of your office Wi-Fi network (ask a teammate or check the welcome sheet).
- Your work email and password, if the network uses single sign-on.
- For some sites, a Wi-Fi password from your office manager.
Steps
- On your laptop, click the Wi-Fi icon in the taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).
- Find your office network name in the list and click it.
- Check Connect automatically, then click Connect.
- If asked for credentials, enter your work email and password. Approve the MFA prompt on your phone if one appears.
- If asked for a shared Wi-Fi password instead, type the password your office manager gave you.
- Wait for the network status to change to Connected. Open a browser to confirm pages load.
- On a phone, open Settings → Wi-Fi (iPhone) or Settings → Network & Internet → Wi-Fi (Android). Tap your office network and repeat steps 4–6.
Troubleshooting
- If you cannot see the network name: make sure Wi-Fi is on and move closer to an access point. Toggle Wi-Fi off and on.
- If your password is rejected on a single sign-on network: use the same password you use for email. If you recently changed it, this is the new one.
- If the connection says "Connected, no internet": disconnect and reconnect. If the problem continues, restart your computer.
- If the network keeps asking you to sign in repeatedly: forget the network (right-click it on Windows, tap the i on iPhone), then rejoin from scratch.
- For visitors: use the Guest network instead. It usually requires only a name and email.
