UConn Wireless

The university has free wireless for students, faculty and guests. The wireless is available in study lounges and various academic buildings. As of December 2008, Shippee and Buckley are the only wireless halls to have complete wireless coverage. A complete list of wireless-accessible areas is available at the following link: http://wireless.uconn.edu/wireless_locations_storrs.htm.

Wireless connections will need to be configured before you will be able to connect. See below for a link to UITS' connection guide for UConn-Secure.

Public and Secure Wireless

• UCONN-PUBLIC is an open network accessible to NetID and GuestID users. It requires authentication through a browser, meaning non-traditional devices (e.g.. an Xbox) will not be able to connect. Data sent over the network is not secured.

• UCONN-SECURE offers faster speeds and greater security for anybody with a NetID. It is available anywhere UConn-Public is available, and uses WPA2 encryption. Most wireless hardware manufactured in the last four years support WPA2. Windows XP users must install Service Pack 3 to connect to a WPA2 network.
