The UC Irvine Libraries provide wireless network access to the Internet for UCI students, faculty and staff. Wireless network access is provided as part of UCInet Mobile Access Service, a joint effort of the UCI Libraries and the Office of Information Technology (OIT). This service promotes wireless computing among students and faculty on campus for education and research.
Need a charge? We've got you covered. Mobile chargers are available at the Langson and Science Library Check Out Desks.
To use wireless access to connect to the Internet, UCI students faculty and staff will need to:
- Have a laptop or mobile device with Wi-Fi (802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n) capabilities either built-in or via an accessory card
- Determine the MAC address (usually on the back of the wireless card)
- Register the MAC address on the Office of Information Technology (OIT) Mobile Access Registration website using a UCInetID
- Be in a location that is a designated WiFi Zone (see http://www.oit.uci.edu/mobile/wifi-zones/)
The UCI Office of Information Technology now offers guest access for people visiting the UCI campus who need to use our campus wi-fi network. Visit the page https://uci.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0012997 for more information.
