Check your WiFi: Which network do you connect to? 

This June, UWM will be launching a new WiFi network for guests and will be retiring the UWM Visitor WiFi network. 

As part of this change, all students, faculty, and staff at UWM should double-check that their personal devices are connecting to WiFi through either UWMWiFi or eduroam — not the Visitor network.  

Many personal devices auto-connect to WiFi, so it’s important to check your network connection before June. UWM managed devices should require no change.

WiFi Networks at UWM

  • UWM WiFi is for long-term use for UWM students, faculty and staff. Check that your personal devices are connecting to this network, and not UWM Visitor. 
  • Eduroam is another secure WiFi option for UWM students and employees and is available while visiting other participating universities and institutions. 
  • UWM visitors and guests will use the new UWM Guest WiFi network (currently UWM Visitor). This network is intended for short-term use by those visiting the UWM campus.
  • Please visit the UWM WiFi webpage for more information on all the WiFi networks.

If you have any questions about connecting to WiFi, please contact the UWM Help Desk
