UCONN-GUEST
UCONN-GUEST is a non-encrypted, non-secure wireless service for Internet access by visitors to UConn who do not have NetID credentials or access to eduroam via credentials with their home institution. It does not require NetID credentials to log in. Instead, users must accept the acceptable use policy, which automatically loads in the device’s Web browser upon connecting to UCONN-GUEST or browsing to a website. This connection resets every few hours.
FTP, BitTorrent, and SMTP protocols are blocked on UCONN-GUEST.
You may need to connect your wireless device to UCONN-GUEST. Supported devices include:
Gaming consoles, such as Xbox and PlayStation
Apple TV
Smart TVs
Streaming devices, such as Roku, Fire TV Stick, and Chromecast
Devices that do not have a web browser capable of accepting the Acceptable Use Policy must be registered to allow them to bypass the terms and conditions page.
Communication between wireless devices is not supported. Therefore, the following devices may not work and are not supported:
Wireless printers

Etc.
Such devices that communicate through an online cloud service, rather than in a device-to-device fashion, may work but are not formally supported.
