Wireless @ UConn Law

The UConn public wireless network allows faculty, staff, and students with a NetID, authenticated access to the network. When you open your browser and type an address, you will be re-directed to the login page.

How do I connect?

  1. If you don’t already have one, purchase a wireless adapter. Install the wireless network adapter software and hardware per the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. Identify and go to a wireless locations at the Law School.
  3. Configure the wireless network adapter / operating system to locate and connect to UCONN-PUBLIC.
  4. Open the web browser to register the wireless session.
  5. Login with your NetID and password to authenticate and begin your wireless session.

You’re connected!

If your computer has a compatible card and is already configured to connect to public networks, you will most likely join automatically to the UConn wireless network and see a login screen when you open your browser.

Please note that the UCONN-PUBLIC network is an unsecured network. Alternatevely, you can configure your system to join UCONN-SECURE, a secure wireless network.

You will need a computer with an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter. Almost any IEEE 802.11b/g card will work with the UConn wireless network. We do not recommend any specific brands of adapters.
