McMaster wireless networks
Check out the cards below to learn more about the three main McMaster networks on campus and when to use them. Mac-WiFi is the primary network to use on campus.
Eduroam

Campus-wide wireless enhancement
In response to feedback from the McMaster community, UTS is also launching a multi-year, campus-wide wireless enhancement project. Connected to the McMaster IT Strategic Plan for 2019-2021, this initiative will redefine, revitalize and modernize the University’s wireless environments. Stay up to date on which buildings are completed, in progress and in planning stages.

Mac-Wifi
The Mac-WiFi system uses the Wi-Fi Protected Access method to encrypt your data. This network is available for members of the McMaster community across campus through your credentials.
Reznet-WiFi
Students can access Wi-Fi in their residence building through “Reznet-WiFi”. You can access this network with your McMaster credentials.
The process to connect to this network is the same as it is to connect to Mac-WiFi.
Mac-Events
If you are hosting a large event or conference at McMaster University and would like to provide Wi-Fi access to non-McMaster attendees, you can request to have the Mac-Events Wi-Fi network enabled for the duration of your event.
