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.
