On June 2, 2026, UWM launched a new WiFi network for guests called UWM Guest and retired the UWM Visitor WiFi network. 

As part of this change, all UWM students, faculty and staff should double-check that their personal devices are connecting to WiFi through either UWMWiFi or eduroam — not the Visitor network. UWM managed devices should require no change.
