Wireless

The University of Winnipeg provides wireless network service on campus to all Faculty, Staff and Students through a service named Eduroam. Eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, worldwide roaming wireless network developed for the international research and education community. Service is available to everyone who has either a UWinnipeg email or webmail account.

Once you connect to Eduroam, you will enjoy the ability to automatically connect whenever you visit a participating institution. Currently, there are several million eduroam users enjoying free seamless internet access at education institutions in nearly 100 countries around the world.

This page contains instructions on how all Faculty, Staff and Students can connect their personal devices to campus Wi-Fi. Eduroam and UW-GUEST are Wi-Fi networks available to you!
