Getting Connected
Before You Connect
Make sure you are aware of the UW-Eau Claire's Computer and Network Usage Guidelines. Any devices detected within Housing & Residence Life network that are compromised by malware, spyware, viruses or personal routers/access points that are causing network problems or abuse or are in violation of the UWEC Copyright Policy, are subject to be removed from the network.
Connecting to the Wireless Network
Connect your wireless device that you'll use across campus (phone, tablet, laptop, watch) to the "UWEC" network. You will need your UWEC username and password to connect. You will use this network all over campus, including the residence halls.
For other devices such as gaming consoles, SmartTV's and other non-standard devices that you cannot authenicate to the UWEC network, use the "UWECreshall" network. You will need to first register your device's MAC Address at the My Devices Portal (http://students.mydevices.uwec.edu) in order to connect to this network.
My Devices Portal
Need help finding your MAC Address?
Find your MAC Address
For those devices which do not have an Ethernet port, we strongly urge you do purchase a Wireless USB Adaptor. Many gaming consoles, desktops and other devices can connect this way. Some devices need specific manufacturer adaptors to work (ex: Apple devices, Nintendo, etc.).
Connecting to the Wired Network
For those devices you cannot connect wirelessly, you may submit a Port Activation request to get an Ethernet port activated in your Residence Hall room.
NOTE: Port activations are unavailable at Priory Hall.
Port activations are very limited throughout the Residence Halls, and if approved, will be completed within 48-72 business hours upon submission. At the beginning of the semester we are very busy so these requests may take even longer.
