Register your computer - wireless access

If wireless service is available in your area, there will be three wireless service options:

UMD-Secure SSID (recommended):

Authenticated, encrypted wireless service for students, faculty and staff. Access by opening a web browser and selecting "Connect to UMD-Secure Wireless" to run the XpressConnect set up. Once configured, you will automatically connect to the UMD-Secure wireless service.

UMD-Wireless SSID:

Authenticated wireless service for students, faculty and staff. Access by opening a web browser and authenticating with your University Internet/email ID and password. You should also use the UMD VPN service when using this wireless service.

UMD-Guest-Wireless SSID:

Non-authenticated, limited wireless service for guests. Guest wireless service is rate-limited and restricted to web-only access (no email, VPN, ftp, or access to any authenticated resources such as the Library, etc.). Access by opening a web browswer and completing the Guest Registration form.

For details on accessing each of these wireless services, see: Wireless Access.
