Description

UI-DeviceNet is a network to connect gaming, entertainment, and other approved devices to the campus internet. Devices such as Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, Roku, etc. that cannot be connected to eduroam, can be registered and connected to UI-DeviceNet. 

Laptops, tablets and smart phones are not permitted on this network and should connect using eduroam. Wireless printers are not able to use the UI-DeviceNet wireless network.

This service is available across campus.

Please note:  that some "Internet of Things" (IoT) devices designed to work on home networks may not be supported by the campus wireless network. The scale, design, and security controls of the campus wireless network makes it challenging for some devices to function properly on the network.

Some examples include:

  • Devices that require a direct connection or special addressing from a WiFi router (e.g. a Phillips Hue light bulb)
  • Some devices that connect to a local hub that is then connected to the University network.
