Wi-Fi
UNSW students and staff
On campus, Wi-Fi services are available for ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ students and staff in the Library. Ask us for more information on ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ wireless networks.
Guests and visitors
Information, Communication and Technology Services (ICTS) is currently undertaking a trial of a new Wi-Fi service across campus for visitors and guests. This wireless network is called "¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Guest" and is available within ICTS, Building 1, the Cafe and Library.
To connect to this network, visitors and guests need to register their name and email address. An authentication message is then sent to the nominated email. It contains a link which grants access to '¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Guest' for 24 hours. After this time re-registration is required. This time will be extended when the service is available more broadly.
Please note, the '¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Guest' Wi-Fi is not intended for anyone with an existing zID as it does not permit access to UNSW internal systems. TheÌýEduroam Wi-Fi network should be used in this case.
