Current students, faculty, staff, and official visitors have access to the utexas-iot (Internet of things) wireless network on campus. 

To connect to utexas-iot, your device must support WPA2-PSK (aka. "WPA2 Personal"), and you must register your device with your UT EID.

From a network-connected device:

  1. Go to https://network.utexas.edu
  2. Log in with your UT EID (via UTLogin)
  3. Click the "Register Wireless Device" button
  4. Enter your device's MAC address and a description, and click the "Register" button
  5. Make note of the WPA2 key generated (will be unique for each device you register)

On your IoT device:

  1. Select utexas-iot from the available wireless networks
  2. Enter the WPA2 key provided to you in step 5 above

Troubleshooting:

Applications that require publicly accessible IP addresses:

Due to the large number of devices on the wireless network, connected devices are not assigned publicly accessible IP addresses.
