Wireless at UMass Dartmouth

The university has deployed a wireless network that allows faculty, staff and students to connect to the Internet and other campus services in most areas on the main campus. This includes all academic buildings, study areas, cafeterias, and the Claire T. Carney Library, as well as the Residence Halls.

Three wireless networks:
eduroam, CorsairWiFi, and UMassD-Guest

UMass Dartmouth has three wireless networks: eduroam,  CorsairWiFi, and UMassD-Guest that are used differently.

eduroam

Eduroam is a global academic wireless network. UMass Dartmouth students, faculty and staff can use their UMassD email address and password to access the eduroam network on campus, and when visiting other academic institutions.

CorsairWiFi

The CorsairWiFi wireless network is used for residents' game consoles and media streaming devices. Visit the Game Consoles and Media Streaming page for more information.

Note that CorsairWiFi cannot be used to access campus email, the myUMassD portal, or most administrative systems.

UMassD-Guest

The UMassD-Guest network is used for visitors to campus. Visitors must register their device in order to use this network. During the academic year, registration lasts for 24 hours, after which guests will need to register again. 

UMassD-Guest cannot be used to access most campus systems.

Wi-Fi Calling is available through both networks. Most smartphones and cell carriers support Wi-Fi calling which utilizes wireless connectivity to make calls when cell service is limited or not available.
