To access the internet from UOW wired networks, our border firewall needs to know who is making the connection by entering your uow username and password into the service. The only exception to this is rooms in student accommodation which all have wired ports in them. Please note: It is breach of the IT Acceptable Use Policy to connect a device to the UOW Wired network.
When connecting to the wired network at UOW, you may need to complete some additional steps to access the internet such as using Border Authentication. The recommended network for teaching and learning is the UOW network.
The University provides wireless internet access to the Wollongong Campus and its regional campuses and is available to staff, students and guests of the University.
