Info

Wired connections are most frequently given 137.99 or 10.16 IP ranges, which gives the computer access to UConn systems that may otherwise require a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Wireless Connections (UCONN-GUEST)

If you need a static IP reservation for UConn wifi, such as for connecting a game console or smart TV, you can register your device and connect to UCONN-GUEST. See Registering Wireless Devices for Internet Access
