A page within Information Technology Services
ITS has a state-of-the-art robust wireless system featuring faster speeds, cutting edge performance, coverage and density. Broad coverage in access points throughout the campus, and especially in residence halls. Speeds for the wireless access points are capable of reaching 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 e-mail. 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.
