Wi-Fi Networks

Vacaville Unified School District provides multiple networks for district devices to access the internet. While it may seem overwhelming at first, each network is designed for a specific purpose. Not sure which one to connect to? This page will guide you through the basics and help you choose the right network for your needs.

📶 VacavilleUSD Wi-Fi (District Staff Network)

VacavilleUSD is the secure Wi-Fi network for all district staff devices.

🔐 Login Credentials

Use your VUSD district username and password.

Example:
If your district email is JohnD@vacavilleusd.org, then:

Username: vusd\JohnD
Password: Your regular district password (the same one used for computers, email, Aeries, etc.)

This is the format used when connecting laptops or Windows devices to the Wi-Fi.

⚠️ Important: Changing Your Password

If you change your district password, you must also update the password stored in your Wi-Fi settings.
Otherwise, your device will keep trying to connect using your old password, which can cause:

Multiple failed authentication attempts
Automatic account lockout
Loss of Wi-Fi connectivity
Inability to sign in to district systems

If Your Account Gets Locked Out

🛠️ Request a Technology Specialist to assist with unlocking and reconnecting your device.
