Wireless Access In UD Residence Halls

All UD residence halls now provide wireless access in all rooms and common areas.

Additional information

  • Do not use your own wireless access point or wireless router in your residence hall room.
  • Do not connect a printer to UD's wireless network. Bring a USB cable for your printer, even if your printer has wireless capabilities. Because of how printers interact with a wireless network, we are not allowing wireless printers on UD's network.
  • Even though you may not connect a personal wireless access point or a wireless printer to UD's wireless network, you may connect your laptop, iPod, smartphone, and other Internet-capable devices to UD's wireless network. Don't forget to register each Internet-capable device for full access to the Internet.
  • Having difficulty registering your computer or Internet-capable device on our network? Submit a Help Request to the IT Support Center, call (302) 831-6000, or send a text message to (302) 772-6820.
  • You can use either the UDel or UDel Secure wireless network. The UDel network is secure; the UDel Secure network has some extra safeguards but may not work with all wireless adapters. (Directions for using the UDel Secure wireless network)
  • When available, an Ethernet (wired) connection will always be faster than a wireless connection.
