Wireless Connectivity
- Eduroam is the official wireless network of the University of Maine System (UMS). Students, faculty, and staff should use the eduroam wireless network to connect computers, tablets, and smart phones at all seven UMS universities and the University of Maine School of Law.
Ready to connect? Connect your Mac, Windows, iOS, Android device to eduroam.
- MaineEDU-Open is available in residence halls for game consoles, media players, and smart TVs such as Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, Apple TV, and Roku (except at the University of Maine where Apogee is available in the residence halls). Click here to connect a device to MaineEDU-Open.
INFO: Devices such as the Google Home and Chromecast, that require being on the same network as a phone to set up, cannot be supported on the University of Maine networks.
- medev is available in academic and administrative buildings for university-owned devices that meet the following criteria:
- University-owned device
- Is not a traditional printer (only Xerox project printers allowed)
- 3D Printers not included in this category
- Cannot join eduroam
- Due to a vendor issue (e.g. lack of support, software bug)
- Due to not being owned by a particular user (e.g. temperature sensors, shared devices like cart-mounted iPads)
- It cannot be wired. The lack of wall jacks is not a valid long-term reason (new jacks should be run for stationary project devices)
- Lacks physical ethernet port
- The use case for the device is inherently mobile (e.g. rolling carts)
Contact the help desk to get a device on medev.
