- Eduroam and ECwireless are functionally identical, so you will not experience any performance change as a result of moving from ECwireless to eduroam.
- Our process for connecting and registering devices such as game consoles and media devices has not changed. Please see our guide for connecting media devices.
Wi-Fi 6E Support: For users in the Piano Row Residence Halls, the Lion's Den, and the Walker Building: We recently installed Wireless 6GHz capability, also know as Wi-Fi 6E! If you have a newer device which has Wi-Fi 6E hardware, you will see our temporarily network called "Emerson6." (For Emerson6, connect with only your bare Emerson username and password, without the @emerson.edu .) You're welcome to log in and use it and let us know how it works! Wi-Fi 6E offers speeds two to three times faster than our existing 5GHz, Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 campus networks. We intend to add 6GHz capabilities to eduroam in the coming year; until then, you can choose to connect to Emerson6 where it is available, and also have a connection to eduroam for the rest of campus and beyond.
