Campus wireless services

A page within Information Technology Services

ITS provides a state-of-the-art wireless system featuring fast speeds, broad coverage, and high density access points throughout campus, including residence halls. Wireless speeds can reach up to 1GB depending on location and the number of simultaneous users.

What to Look For

The visible wireless networks at UWL are UWL-Guest and UWL-Eagle.

  • UWL-Guest provides temporary guest wireless access to the internet and secure email. When using this network, you will be prompted every seven days to accept the access policy.
  • UWL-Eagle is a secure wireless network which requires you to enter your NetID and password. This should be your default wireless network for full access for UWL staff and students.

Connecting to the Wi-Fi

Go to Settings to ensure you are connected to UWL-Eagle. If you have a personally owned device, select UWL-Eagle from the list of available wireless networks and enter your NetID and password.
