Connecting to BUsecure

A secure wireless network is one that uses encryption to secure communications. Sending sensitive information over the Internet from a secured wireless network provides added security to that information. No network security option is failsafe. Be sure to continue to follow basic precautions when using the secure wireless network.

Prior to attempting to connect to BUsecure, apply all software updates for your operating system or device.
