Status Update: Network Upgrade Project

The University of Memphis network upgrade project is proceeding according to schedule.  Building switches and existing wireless access points have been replaced.

Individuals should use the following appropriate wireless network:

  • um – Primary wireless network for use by UofM students, faculty, and staff.
  • um-guest – Temporary access for campus visitors that requires sign-in every 24 hours.
  • um-devices – Connect wireless devices such as gaming consoles, wireless printers and streaming devices to this network.
  • eduroam – Visitors to UofM whose home institutions participate in Eduroam can connect to this network using credentials from their home institution.

University employees and students should connect their smart phones, tablets, and computers to the um wireless network.  Accessing the um wireless network will require authentication with your UUID and password.

During the fall semester, ITS will continue to expand wireless network coverage by deploying additional access points, and testing will begin for implementation of the final phase of the network upgrade scheduled for winter break.
