How to Set Up UWMVisitor WiFi on a Windows 11 Machine

To complete the set-up process and connect, you must be in a building with UWM WiFi. Visit the Student Union, Golda Meir Library and other select UWM buildings. 

Make sure the Wi-Fi on your Windows 11 machine is turned on. The Wi-fi icon on the bottom right of your task bar should have an asterisk (*) next to it.

Note: If you have UWM Credentials please use UWMWifi or Eduroam when available. Global Protect VPN is not necessary when using these as they are both encrypted with access to campus resources.
  1. Click on the WiFi icon, and a list of available Wi-Fi spots will pop up. Click the one titled UWMVisitor.
  2. Enter the password panthers25.
  3. Click the OK button and UWMWiFi will verify credentials. 
  4. Click the Connect button.

You are now connected to UWMVisitor Wifi.
