Bates College offers three WiFi networks: Bates Secure (primary network for faculty, staff, and students with WPA2 encryption), Bates Open (for guests and devices like gaming consoles), and Eduroam (for Bates members to connect at participating institutions worldwide). Instructions are provided for connecting to Bates Secure on macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android devices.

Travelers should encrypt their devices to protect personal data from searches at airports and borders. iPhones are encrypted automatically with a passcode, MacBooks use FileVault, Windows PCs rely on BitLocker, and most Android devices are encrypted by default. Users should verify encryption settings and back up data before traveling.
