Gaming Consoles and Media Streaming (CorsairWiFi)

CorsairWifi wireless network is used for residents' game consoles and media streaming devices (Chromecast, Fire TV, Roku, AppleTV). CorsairWifi cannot be used to access campus email, the myUMassD portal, or most administrative systems.

Your device must be registered on the CorsairWifi network before you can use it.

Locate the wireless hardware address (MAC address) of your game console or media device (e.g., 1a:2b:3c:4d:5e:6f). The hardware address for most devices appears on a label on the outside or in the device settings. If you have difficulty locating the hardware address, consult the manufacturer’s website for more information.
Visit https://wireless.umassd.edu/ using your computer, phone, or other connected device.
Register your game console or media streaming device using the hardware address and your UMassD Logon username and password.
Power your device off. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes for the network settings to take effect before powering it on again.
Use your device settings to connect to the CorsairWiFi wireless network. Your console or streaming device will stay registered for the duration of the academic year.

Students are not allowed to set up a router for any reason, as they cause interference with the campus network.

Guest Wireless (UMassD-Guest)

The UMassD-Guest network is used for visitors to the campus. Visitors must register their device in order to use this network. During the academic year, registration lasts for 24 hours, after which guests will need to register again.

Note: UMassD-Guest cannot be used to access most campus systems (myUMassD portal, COIN, email, etc).

Wi-Fi Calling is available through both networks. Most smartphones and cell carriers support Wi-Fi calling, which utilizes wireless connectivity to make calls when cell service is limited or unavailable.
