UTS works to transform the wireless experience on campus, this page is your one-stop shop to troubleshoot connectivity problems (via the FAQ page), and learn how to securely connect your device to the network. 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 for Staff Students and Faculty.
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.

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.
