UWEC Wireless Network
Registering Your Wireless Device
UW-Eau Claire asks that you register wireless devices (e.g., your personally owned laptop) before using them on the UWEC wireless network. This process allows us to associate you with your device. We do not monitor nor track communications on the network. However, if other users are experiencing difficulty and a specific device is causing the difficulty, we know whom to contact.
Faculty, staff, and students may use the wireless network without registering in order to access email and network drives.
You will be asked to register your wireless device in the following situations:
- As soon as you attempt to access a domain outside of the UWEC domain
- The first time you use the network
- Students returning each fall
This document covers the following:
