This article shows guests how to connect a personal device to the BlakeGuest wireless network and create a guest account. Blake uses Cisco Meraki for its wireless network.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A device with WiFi and a web browser
- Access to a personal email account on that device
- A location on a Blake campus; within range of the school’s wireless network
Connect to BlakeGuest
- From your device’s WiFi settings, select BlakeGuest from the list of available networks.
-
A sign-in page appears and asks you to sign in or create an account. If it doesn’t open, try opening a web browser and attempting to go to a website. This should trigger this window to appear.
The image on the left is the mobile device view and the right view is the computer.
Create a Guest Account
If this is the first time you’re connecting to BlakeGuest you’ll need to create an account. Which is good for 1 year. If you already have an account, skip to the section titled ‘Reconnect After 10 Minutes.’
- On the sign-in page, select Create an Account.
-
Enter your name, personal email address, and a password you’d like to use. Select Create new account.
The account creation page is identical on a computer as it is mobile.
-
Select the Continue to link. You now have 10 minutes of internet access to login to the email account you used and verify your account. Depending on your device, you may need to open a new browser tab or a different browser.
Verify Your Email
Verify your account within 10 minutes to keep your connection. If you have verified within the 10 minutes, you stay connected to BlakeGuest and are done.
-
From your personal email inbox, open the message from “Cisco Meraki - No Reply” from noreply@meraki.com with the subject “BlakeGuest - Email Verification.”
The image on the left is the mobile device view and the right view is the computer.
- Select the verification link in the email. A page appears that reads “Thanks for verifying your email.”
Reconnect After 10 Minutes
If you verified after the 10-minute window ended, or you are returning to campus later, sign in with the account you created.
- From your device’s WiFi settings, select BlakeGuest from the list of available networks.
-
A sign-in page appears and asks you to sign in or create an account. If it doesn’t open, try opening a web browser and attempting to go to a website. This should trigger this window to appear
