Guest Wireless Instructions (bloomu-guest network)

• Problem - Account Security
• Category - Guest Wireless
• Symptom - Create Account

Once you obtain your temporary guest account, connect to the bloomu-guest network and open a web page in your web browser. You will be redirected to a bloomu-guest login page where you must enter your temporary guest account credentials. Once you authenticate, you will be able to browse the Internet.
